Emperor Yu descended the Four Pillars: to suppress demons, exorcise devils, deliver ghosts, and slay immortals. From the Four Pillars, Four Gates were born: the Dao Gate to slay demons, the Buddhis...
Chapter 458 How could the Great Wilderness Prodigy do such a thing!
As the saying goes, local environment shapes local people. When the originally barren land suddenly produces a person who is not something that this land can cultivate, who is far above the average level, close to the top talents, and who is particularly outstanding in some aspect, it often means that this land is launching a desperate counterattack.
If this talent grows up successfully, he can lead the originally barren land to gradually become prosperous.
But human hearts are fickle, and expecting people to make a barren land prosperous is more of a hysterical gamble than an investment.
Water flows to low places and people go to high places. The first thought of a rising genius is to explore a wider world.
Maybe geniuses do have the idea of giving back to their hometown, but the world is big, and the place they want to go is even bigger. They might get lost while walking. What's more, this is a world of cultivating immortals. They might be easily killed by brute force halfway through their journey.
But putting the chips on humans is also a helpless move. The world can indeed produce abundant materials, but no matter how abundant the materials are, they will only be quickly squeezed out and then abandoned.
Li Yanmo went to Zhuge Moer and told him about this.
Zhuge Moer pinched his chin and thought for a moment before nodding, "The world has its own laws of operation. Maintaining normality and correcting abnormalities is basic logic. It is obviously abnormal that some places are rich while others are barren. The world will naturally find ways to balance and correct it."
"It takes too long to breed spiritual ore, and humans are part of the universe, so the best way is to focus the luck on humans."
"That's why some people are born extraordinary, or have some unexpected encounter that changes their fate."
Zhuge Moer paused and added.
"But the equal distribution of luck is also conserved. If one person is extremely lucky, it means that some people will be unlucky. Giving birth to a peerless genius means that others will be mediocre. Of course, this does not mean that those people are lazy. Luck is a hard thing to say."
“Some people have the will but not the talent, while others have the talent but have suffered all kinds of setbacks.”
"Various small mistakes and regrets will slowly accumulate, causing the overall level to continue to decline."
After listening to Zhuge Moer's explanation, Li Yanmo felt a little dizzy. This was beyond the scope of his knowledge, but fortunately he had a universal solution.
That means spending money.
Li Yanmo raised his hand and waved, wanting to meet the elders of these very strange geniuses. Shen Ziqing's original intention was to invite the elders who came with Feng Yuchen and other geniuses, but Kong Pu and others waved their hands, breaking through the space like opening a door, and directly brought their ancestors over.
The ancestors of those third-rate sects had never experienced the situation of being surrounded by more than twenty semi-immortals. Two of them were almost frightened to death on the spot, and only recovered after being fed two powerful pills.
Shen Ziqing was in charge of the subsequent negotiations, but since the old ancestors would only nod no matter what Shen Ziqing said, the negotiations ended very quickly. When they were preparing to send the old ancestors back, Feng Yuchen and other geniuses also proposed to go back together.
For them, the Taoist competition has ended, and all they need to do is to digest these hard-earned opportunities.
Li Yanmo also thought this was a good idea, so he didn't persuade them.
Just when we thought that there wouldn't be so many geniuses coming again, a new batch of geniuses came the next day. They were different people, with different talents, but they had the same ideals.
Li Yanmo felt that this development was a bit strange.
They did park the ancient ship in a corner of the Taoist competition site in a blatant manner, but that didn't mean those small sects would really come to them to "pay homage".
Unless someone is operating in secret.
After a little thought, Li Yanmo quietly pulled out a genius and asked him carefully.
"Masked man and...a quasi-first-class sect?" Li Yanmo raised his eyebrows.
"That's right, what the masked gentleman said was deafening, and every word was heart-piercing!" The genius sighed again and again, "If it weren't for the guidance of the masked gentleman, I might have given up on myself! By the way, sir, could it be that those quasi-first-class sects were... tests arranged by you?"
Li Yanmo's eyes flickered and he shook his head, "We have no connections with those quasi-first-class sects. I'm afraid they... are not that simple."
Tianjiao was stunned for a moment, and then his expression became serious.
He encountered many obstacles when he was able to participate in the Taoist competition. He had no doubt that those quasi-first-rate sects simply felt that the other party was powerful and had no reason to compete with him, a genius from a third-rate sect, in the Taoist competition.
"However, this matter involves great importance. Right now, the most important thing for you is to quickly improve your strength and repay the sect and hometown that raised you." Li Yanmo shook his head gently and placed a jade token in his hand. "Someone will go to your sect to discuss the establishment of a trade route in a while. Remember to fight for more benefits for your sect at that time. Don't give in blindly. Be more confident--"
Li Yanmo patted the other person's shoulder hard.
"People are only divided into rich and poor, not noble and humble."
Tianjiao felt a lump in his throat and bowed respectfully to Li Yanmo.
Li Yanmo just waved his hand and reminded him not to be too competitive.
Great Wilderness Alliance.
Tang Zongjian and other geniuses from the late Great Wilderness period sat on the bench motionless.
Chang Wei and other geniuses from the Great Wilderness did not order them to do anything, and even ignored them, letting them do their own things.
As the geniuses of the Great Wilderness period, they hated being told what to do the most. Now they were completely free and no one interfered with what they did. They should be happy, but they were extremely conflicted.
The geniuses of the Great Wilderness Alliance have no intention of leaving the ancient ship. If these geniuses in the middle stage of the Great Wilderness don't go out for a stroll, what reason do they have to go out for a stroll?
Interested in Dayu's Taoism?
If these geniuses in the middle stage of the Great Wilderness don't go out for a stroll, they will definitely look down on the things of Dayu's Taoist tradition. If they go out, wouldn't they be bringing shame to the Taoist tradition in the late stage of the Great Wilderness! ?
Of course, they don't have to go out for a stroll. The only reason they followed the Great Wilderness Alliance to the Daomen Competition was to participate in the Daomen Competition, so they just needed to wait to appear on stage.
But the problem is that they made such a big scene when they appeared on stage that now they are motionless, which naturally attracts many people's curious gazes, as if they are some rare animals.
Normally, they only need to kill one or two to put an end to such a situation, but the Great Wilderness Alliance does not have that intention, and they are not in a position to act on their own initiative, lest others think they want to be the boss.
As time went by, more and more Dayu monks pretended to be passing by, but were actually watching out of curiosity. They could even clearly feel that Dayu monk's fear of them was becoming less and less.
This doesn't seem like showing off, but rather helping Monk Dayu to desensitize himself and no longer fear the Great Wilderness Taoist tradition.
But what kind of people are these geniuses in the middle stage of the Great Wilderness? How could they do such a thing!
