The Sect Knew How to Borrow in Broad Daylight
None of the ten people had a green light above their heads.
For a moment, Lu Changzhi even thought he had misread it.
But looking at the others, and then coming back to them, the situation remains the same.
The same thing happens when you open their properties page.
None of them were accomplices.
This greatly surprised Lu Changzhi.
The three neighboring holy lands are almost completely filled with sects.
Why is the situation so completely different here in the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty?
At that moment, Lu Changzhi turned his head and asked Cang Wenyu telepathically:
"Sect Leader, among the Ten Prodigies of the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty, how many disciples from our sect have been assigned to study here?"
Cang Wenyu looked over, smiled, and shook his head:
The sect did not make any arrangements for them.
"Why?" Lu Changzhi pressed.
"Is it because arranging things on the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty's side is too difficult?"
"No, not at all."
Cang Wenyu glanced at the palace, then said:
"The main problem is the hassle, and more importantly, the treatment of the students."
"After comprehensive consideration and deliberation, the sect believes that sending disciples to the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty is inappropriate."
After a pause, Cang Wenyu said:
"The heads of the Battle Hall and the Punishment Hall are positioned on either side of His Majesty, which is very much in line with the operating style of the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty."
Afterwards, Cang Wenyu gave Lu Changzhi a brief explanation.
The Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty is a power that highly values rules and obedience, especially for younger generations. Even talent takes a backseat to obedience.
Even the ten greatest talents are no exception.
Furthermore, the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty also placed great importance on population.
A promising young talent, unexpectedly discovered, is given significant recognition by his biological parents. After careful verification, they are then ordered to have intercourse to conceive a child.
Alternatively, they could be separated and paired up with the father or mother of another outstanding descendant to conceive offspring.
The children they intentionally create are the prodigies they expect.
These exceptional talents themselves will also be assigned to do these tasks.
In other words, by arranging for disciples of the Five Symbols Sect to study there, they would inevitably have to complete the task of sowing seeds.
There is a requirement regarding the quantity of men.
For women, if they are of suitable age, they can have a ten-month pregnancy and once a year.
But not all women are like that.
Among the ten most outstanding talents, three are young girls.
Of course, the prerequisite is that you can have a father who can stand at the very front of the palace, just like them.
Furthermore, in order to ensure sufficient obedience, they must constantly undergo specialized discipline.
Discipline, simply put, is domestication.
According to Cang Wenyu, this is very detrimental to the normal growth of disciples.
This explanation caused Lu Changzhi's brows to furrow into a deep frown.
While it's true that if something works well, you should use it to the fullest, you have to consider the specific circumstances.
This kind of behavior is really inhumane.
"So there was no resistance?" Lu Changzhi couldn't help but ask.
"Of course there will be." Cang Wenyu gently shook his head.
However, most of them encountered various accidents.
After a pause, Cang Wenyu reminded him:
"Talent, in the case of the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty, comes after obedience."
Lu Changzhi remained silent for a moment.
It must be said that this has indeed formed a very good closed loop.
This model of childbirth has a clear purpose: to rely on the relationship between the parents' and children's talents to continuously produce offspring with sufficient talent and qualifications.
Once talented successors have a stable source and a large number of them, their talent will indeed become less important than before.
With so many of them, and a few that didn't obey, we just killed them.
After a moment's thought, Lu Changzhi asked:
"If the younger generation is powerless to resist, then those who are capable of resisting must be in very good circumstances, right?"
Cang Wenyu glanced at Lu Changzhi with some surprise:
"To think of that."
He nodded as he spoke:
"You guessed right. Once you reach a certain position, your treatment will be much better, and you'll have plenty of privileges. While you'll still be obedient to your superiors, you can do a lot more with your subordinates."
"As expected," Lu Changzhi thought to himself.
So they just target the young and those with no status to bully.
Cang Wenyu continued:
"That's why the sect arranged for some elders skilled in disguise to be stationed in the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty. Some of them had access to the storage of treasures and the distribution of cultivation resources, and could also occasionally siphon off some cultivation resources themselves."
"Um?"
Lu Changzhi was taken aback:
"Is that even possible? They can put the treasures into storage and embezzle them without being discovered?"
"So the benefits will be much better." Cang Wenyu smiled.
"These kinds of things are usually overlooked unless they go too far."
After thinking for a moment, Cang Wenyu added:
"The open eye also belongs to the sect."
Lu Changzhi's lips twitched:
"The sect truly produces a wealth of talented individuals."
Even if it's one's own people watching, and even if one's own people are stealing, the sect knows how to borrow it openly and legitimately.
"There's nothing we can do," Cang Wenyu sighed.
"Our sect is poor, we don't have enough resources, and this place isn't suitable for our disciples to study here. We can only think of more ways."
"The elders didn't eat much either; they could only rely on their numbers to take a little from here and a little from there."
Lu Changzhi shook his head at this.
If the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty knew this, it would probably be even more willing to help the Five Symbols Sect train its students.
While the two were talking, the palace had already reached mid-air on one side of Heaven's Chosen City.
The people from the various forces, including the Extreme Arms Holy Land, the Buddhist Order, the Star Moon Holy Land, and the Cloud Heaven Holy Land, each occupied a place.
The Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty is located in mid-air, so they naturally wouldn't stay in the city, which puts them at a lower level.
Zhou Mu's gaze swept across the surroundings, a faint smile on his face. He looked at the head of the Buddhist Order and spoke:
"Abbot Nan, it has been many years since I heard from the Venerable Buddha. I wonder how the Venerable Buddha is doing these days?"
"Amitabha."
Nan Huaiyun chanted a Buddhist prayer, which drew Lu Changzhi's attention back to the field.
Unfortunately, the next line doesn't say that this thing has a connection with Buddhist Order, but rather:
"The Buddha is unwell and is currently recuperating; he is unable to come in person."
Zhou Mu nodded and sighed:
"That's true. After all these years, my father's health isn't very good either. Time waits for no one."
Then, changing the subject, he laughed and said:
"Of those three back then, perhaps only Saint Jiang —no, Saint King Jiang— was the most energetic. It's a pity that we haven't seen him around these days."
As he spoke, Zhou Mu's gaze turned toward the Extreme Arms Holy Land.
Everyone's eyes followed.
It must be said that, as one of the transcendent forces, the scale of the Extreme Arms Holy Land is not even as impressive as that of the Buddhist Order.
The abbot of the Buddhist Order sect is also a powerful figure at the Saint Realm.
There were no Saint Realm experts on the Extreme Arms Holy Land side.
Duan Yi smiled faintly, "Ancestor Jiang said he had visited the Southern Region before, so he won't be coming this time."
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent for a moment.
This reason...
"It's a pity that everyone won't be able to witness the Saint King's magnificence."
Zhou Mu gently shook his head, his gaze fixed on the location of the Star Moon Holy Land, lingering briefly on Xu Hao, and said:
"Judging from his physique and aura, the junior on the right must have cultivated the techniques of your Star Moon Holy Land to an extremely high level. If I'm not mistaken, this should be the Holy Son appointed by your Star Moon Holy Land."
