Chapter 631: The Token of Guangling Daoguo Conference
In a certain attic in Linghuang City, Ye Changsheng, Linghuang, Ao Xiao, Mo Jianli, four Mahayana masters from both the human and demon races, had an in-depth and friendly exchange with the Mahayana masters from other races who came to watch the ceremony.
The conversation did not last very long. When they left the attic, each of these foreign Mahayana masters had an expression of relief on their faces.
They all felt relieved, naturally because Ye Changsheng had just promised them in person in the attic that he would not support the continued expansion of the human and demon races.
This was like amnesty for the small and medium-sized ethnic groups around the human race. Ye Changsheng's promise was heavy enough to instantly remove the sword hanging over their heads.
The sudden rise of the human race was beyond their expectations. If the human race continued to expand, they would not be able to resist with their strength and could only accept the fate of being annexed and exterminated.
Will the big clans in Fengyuan Continent stand up for them?
Not necessarily. These big clans might join hands to curb the continued expansion of the human race. However, after so many things happened at Ye Changsheng’s Mahayana ceremony, they will probably be more cautious.
It is also possible to sacrifice a few small tribes and adopt a strategy of appeasement.
They cannot pin their fate entirely on those big clans, so these days, the Mahayana monks from these small and medium-sized clans have all been feeling uneasy.
Now, hearing Ye Changsheng's promise, no matter how long this promise lasts, is enough to make them extremely excited.
Even if the human race will still expand in the future, there is at least a buffer period now!
And this buffer period is enough time for a lot of things to happen.
For example, the invasion of the demon world and so on.
If the greatest Mahayana master in the spiritual world were to die due to some unfortunate incident, the sword hanging over his head would be completely lifted.
With such thoughts in mind, these Mahayana monks from different races left the attic in joy.
As for the human and demon races, Mo Jianli and Ao Xiao also strongly agreed with Ye Changsheng's decision.
At this point in time, it is indeed not suitable for the two tribes to continue expanding.
Firstly, the previous expansion was too fierce, swallowing up the territories of three tribes in one breath. The human and demon tribes showed too much aggressiveness, which easily caused unrest among other races.
If the major clans on Fengyuan Continent were to unite to target the two clans, it would be a loss-making endeavor.
So now both the human and demon races should restrain their sharp edges and show a gentle attitude, which will help dispel the hostility of those people.
Secondly, more serious problems arose within the human and demon races, making it impossible for the two races to continue expanding.
There are too few people available!
Having acquired such a vast territory all at once, there simply were not enough monks to guard and manage it. Now the two tribes have only annexed those territories in name only.
In fact, there is no effective rule over those territories, and the resistance forces of various ethnic groups there are still very strong and cannot be ignored.
It will take a lot of effort to transform these lands into their core territories. Now the two tribes are in a state of extremely serious over-expansion.
According to a game Ye Changsheng played in his previous life:
This state of overexpansion will not only lead to rebellions in the newly annexed territories, but will also seriously affect the country's international reputation and cause the surrounding forces to unite and form an encirclement network to advance and retreat together.
Therefore, the two tribes need some time to digest and slowly take control of these newly conquered territories, mastering every mine, spiritual vein, spiritual medicine production site, etc.
Then, the mortals will be moved there step by step, forming cities, and the living space of those resistance forces will be squeezed step by step...
This process is destined to take a long time. Not only does it take time to digest the land, but it also takes time to cultivate a talent pool.
The two tribes are now strong enough in terms of Mahayana combat power, but the strength echelon below the Mahayana level cannot be improved at all, and they are still far from being a medium-sized tribe.
A medium-sized ethnic group like the Feiling Clan has six or seven hundred fusion cultivators, not to mention those who have reached the refining stage and the transformation stage.
As for the human and demon races, there are only more than 200 combined cultivators, which is still a long way off.
Now, these combined cultivators alone are unable to suppress the newly annexed territories, so much so that when one or two hidden combined cultivators appear in the old territories of the Yaksha and other tribes and slaughter the armies of the human and demon tribes, Ao Xiao and Mo Jianli have to suppress them personally.
The two of them were like fire captains, running here and there. I have never seen Mahayana so tired.
The Mahayana monks from other tribes are all high and mighty. They usually practice hard and receive offerings from their tribes, and they only take action at critical moments. But now these two Mahayana monks from the human and demon tribes have become like thugs.
In order to avoid such a situation, we can only try our best to cultivate more fusion monks.
In order to completely control this vast land, the two races must have at least six hundred combined monks.
It can be said that before cultivating a sufficient pool of talent, both ethnic groups will no longer be able to expand externally.
It is based on this background that Ye Changsheng made the promise.
Of course, it is hard to say whether the two tribes will continue to expand after they have a strength echelon that matches the middle-level tribes.
Anyway, Ye Changsheng’s promise only represents his own attitude, not everyone’s attitude.
If in the future there are other Mahayana sects that support the two tribes to continue their external expansion, it will no longer be his business.
After seeing off these Mahayana monks, Ye Changsheng had another secret talk with the Spirit King. Finally, the two reached an agreement, and the Spirit King led the Spirit Clan to join the alliance of humans and demons.
Therefore, the alliance suddenly became an alliance of humans, demons, and spirits. Although this alliance of three tribes currently has five Mahayana masters.
But with the two super-special combat powers of Ye Changsheng and Ling Wang, they are not afraid even if they fight against a super clan.
…
"Brother Ye, after I went to Dragon Island this time, I actually brought you a gift, but I just couldn't tell you about it before!"
In a palace in Linghuang City, Tian Feier said to Ye Changsheng with a smile.
"Oh? Then I'd like to hear what gifts the fairies have brought!" Ye Changsheng asked with a smile.
Tian Fei'er's hand flashed with light, and a piece of emerald green dragon scale appeared: "Now that I am a member of Dragon Island, I am qualified to give out the token of Guangling Daoguo Conference. Brother Ye should know the name of Guangling Daoguo Conference, right?"
Tian Feier said this and handed the emerald green scale to Ye Changsheng.
"Of course I have heard of the Guangling Daoguo Conference. After all, it is known as the number one event in the Thousand Worlds!" Ye Changsheng said with a smile when he heard this.
Guangling Dao Fruit can definitely be called the most unique holy object in the Xiaonanzhou interface group, and its title of the first holy fruit in the Thousand Realms is not groundless.
After taking this fruit, one can possess a Guangling Dao body within ten thousand years, and the effects of practicing or comprehending the techniques can be increased by more than seven or eight times compared to before.
This is an effect that will make people jealous, and no Mahayana practitioner will not be tempted.
Of course, it is quite difficult to obtain this thing. The threshold for participating in the Guangling Daoguo Conference is high enough.
You must possess true spirit-level combat power to have a chance to be invited.
After being invited, the competition became extremely fierce. Anyone who wanted to obtain the Dao Fruit basically had to defeat a dozen or even dozens of beings of the same level before getting a chance to exchange for a Guangling Dao Fruit.
Any True Spirit-level being is not so easy to deal with. It can be said that even someone like Ming Zun would most likely not have the chance to obtain a Guangling Dao Fruit if he participated in the Guangling Dao Fruit Conference.
Of course, with Ye Changsheng's current strength, it would probably not be a problem for him to get a Guangling Dao Fruit.
Therefore, it was reasonable for Tian Feier to give him this token.
"The Guangling Daoguo Conference will be held in about a thousand years. By then, Brother Ye will get the news from this scale. I will be waiting for Brother Ye's arrival on Dragon Island!" Tian Feier said with a bright smile.
"Thank you, fairy. I will definitely keep the appointment when the time comes!" Ye Changsheng bowed.
"Brother Ye, you don't have to be polite. After all, you helped me a lot back then. It's a pity that I have just forged a true spiritual body and cannot compare with others. Otherwise, maybe I would give Brother Ye a Xuantian treasure!" Tian Feier said half-jokingly and half-seriously.
It seems that she still cares a lot about Tianfeng's previous appearance and actions.
The Dragon and Phoenix clans have always been competing with each other, but in this situation, she was easily suppressed by the Tianfeng. How could she be willing to accept this?
But no matter what, they are all old seniors who have lived for more than a million years. Tian Feier knows that he has no strength to compete with them in wealth, so he can only admit defeat.
"By the way, how did Brother Ye get involved with the Tianfeng clan? Especially that Senior Caifeng, who is very important in the entire Tianfeng clan!" Tian Feier asked curiously with a turn of his eyes.
"Well, this is a long story. I'll talk to the fairy about it slowly when I have the chance!" Ye Changsheng said with a dry cough.
Tian Feier chuckled when she heard this, and tactfully did not ask any more questions, but the curiosity in her eyes became more and more intense.
…
In a palace in Linghuang City, a white-haired old man was staying here with a nervous look, his eyes full of tension.
It's no wonder that anyone would feel nervous when hearing that they would be summoned alone by the Immortal Lord of the human race.
Even beings like the Three Emperors and Seven Demon Kings have to tremble in fear and be cautious.
What's more, he was just an ordinary cultivator in the middle stage of the Spiritualization Realm.
The leader of the Xingling Sect was very surprised that he was treated like this. He didn't understand at all why Ye Changsheng showed special favor to him at the Mahayana ceremony, talked to him specifically, and even kept him.
No matter how hard I think about it, I can't figure it out. Could it be that this strongest man of the human race has taken a fancy to something from the Star Spirit Sect?
But how is that possible?
The Xingling Sect is just an ordinary sect. How can there be anything worthy of others' attention?
He had been thinking about it over and over again for the past few days, but he just couldn't figure out what was so attractive about the Xingling Sect that could attract Ye Changsheng.
The only thing that can be said about the connection between Xingling Sect and Ye Changsheng is probably that Ye Changsheng is an ascended monk, and the founder of Xingling Sect is also an ascended monk.
But so many years have passed, is there still any connection between the two?
Could it be that the founder of the Xingling Sect and this Senior Ye ascended from the same world?
Isn’t it such a coincidence?
The leader of the Xingling Sect thought about it for several days but still couldn't figure it out. He secretly said that when he returned this time, he must dig out all the classics in the sect and carefully check his ancestors to find out the reason.
Just as he was waiting anxiously, a gentle voice suddenly rang out in the hall: "Thank you for waiting for a long time, fellow Taoist. Please take a seat!"
Following the sound, I saw a figure appear out of nowhere on a cushion in the palace. He sat in an elegant posture, as handsome as jade, and his attitude was very casual, as if he was calm and indifferent to everything.
Lin Huo, the leader of the Xingling Sect, knew that this calm temperament was brought about by strength.
Most of the monks in this world live cautiously all their lives, worrying about this and that all the time, and most of them are in a gloomy state.
It is difficult for them to appear in such a casual and calm manner, for no other reason than that they lack strength.
Only the strong and those who have no desires can face the world calmly and calmly. The person in front of him is obviously a strong man.
The moment he saw this young man, the leader of Xingling Sect was so excited that he immediately bowed and said, "Junior greets Senior Ye. It is the greatest honor of my life to be summoned by Senior!"
Ye Changsheng stretched out his hand and lifted up the white-haired old man. He smiled and said, "Daoyou, there is no need to be too polite or too nervous."
Hearing this, the white-haired old man couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart. How could anyone not be nervous when facing you, an old man?
"Speaking of which, fellow Daoist, you must be very surprised why Ye chose you out of all the sects, right?"
Upon hearing this, the Xingling Sect leader immediately bowed and said, "I dare not make any assumptions. You must have your reasons for doing this!"
"Yes, there is a reason, and that reason is... Haha, after all, we are still a family!" Ye Changsheng said with a chuckle.
"Ah?" The leader of the Xingling Sect was stunned immediately. His whole body froze in place like a stone statue. He was so shocked by this bolt from the blue that he was speechless.
"Fellow Daoist, don't you believe it?" Ye Changsheng asked with a smile.
"I dare not. I absolutely dare not question my seniors!" The leader of the Xingling Sect was startled and reacted, then quickly shook his head like a rattle.
"It's just that I really can't figure out how our Xingling Sect is related to you, seniors!" He hesitated for a moment, then asked bravely, his eyes full of disbelief.
"Fellow Daoist Lin should know that Ye is an ascended cultivator. The realm where Ye ascended is the realm where the founder of Xingling Sect ascended!"
"In that interface, there is an organization called Xinggong. Speaking of which, I was once the Palace Master of Xinggong!" Ye Changsheng smiled lightly, with a look of reminiscence in his eyes.
