Chapter 606: The Six Hundred Years and Five: The Five Ancient Clans
In the dream dimension, in the huge plane occupied by the tree root trumpet, Zhang Yang stood in front of an old castle that looked a bit dilapidated. Next to him stood Qu Shang, and behind him stood Tao Yao, Zhao Baiyi, He Yimou, Li Si, and Wu Jun. Behind these people stood sixty second-generation disciples, and a full one thousand third-generation disciples.
The strongest among them is the God of Laws. Well, Zhang Yang doesn't need to be included in them. Even the weakest one is also a Mahayana God of Laws.
However, those who were selected into this team were not based on their strength. At least three people were selected from among the thirty demigods of law.
Only six people were selected from the first generation of disciples.
As for the selection criteria, loyalty is only a basic item.
Insight and potential are the biggest scoring items.
Of course, the most outstanding ones among the second and third generation disciples did not come. They had already either followed Mu Shaoan, or followed Li Guohuai, or were lured over by Jiang Rong, or still stayed in the Sword Immortal World to be responsible for the original affairs.
The 1,060 second and third generation disciples here, on the contrary, are all in the middle level. They are neither high-profile nor low-profile. They have a sense of presence, but it is not overwhelming.
They are the core members of the Tianjian Sect that Zhang Yang has quietly cultivated over the past three thousand years.
Well, when he first arrived at the fourth sequence, Zhang Yang spread the spiritual roots of the World Tree, silently cultivating the foundation of mortals.
What is the World Tree? It is a spiritual plant. At that time, the World Tree, which was already a six-color spiritual plant, was of great help to those newborns.
This is why there are so many outstanding second and third generation disciples in the Tianjian Sect.
As for the fourth generation of disciples, Zhang Yang had already asked the World Tree to take back the innate subsidies of the spiritual roots. After all, this was also a considerable consumption for the World Tree.
In short, there were nearly one million disciples in two generations who received the World Tree Spirit Root subsidy. Half of them were eliminated and continued to be mortals, half joined the Tianjian Sect, and for various reasons they were eliminated to become ordinary disciples and continue to work hard to pass on the sect. Many were eliminated due to various unsuitability.
In the end, there were 153,000 people who were qualified to become inner disciples.
Among these 153,000 people, all will be secretly observed by Zhang Yang for a period of 1,000 years. Various events will be randomly given for evaluation, using a scoring system. Later, many other forms of evaluation were added, such as red envelope rain from the sky.
If the inspection fails, the candidate will be removed from Zhang Yang's inspection list.
This assessment is divided into five stages.
Only disciples who have passed all five stages are qualified to stand in front of Zhang Yang.
That is the one thousand and sixty people at this moment.
The leader of the second generation disciples, Fan Ke, was so famous, so talented, and so intelligent that even Qu Shang, Tao Yao, and Zhao Baiyi all praised him highly.
However, in the assessment set by Zhang Yang, he stopped at the fourth stage.
The reason is very simple. Fan Ke has good abilities, but he is too high-profile. Moreover, even after Zhang Yang secretly made him suffer losses twice, he still insisted on doing his own thing. So there is nothing that can be done.
The fourth sequence is so huge that you can’t just pass it by having great charm, talent, and understanding.
How can one who does not know how to hide his edge achieve the great way of publicity? The gate of the castle opened silently, and no one was seen inside. Zhang Yang walked in. There was no decoration along the way. Everything was bare, but occasionally the shadow of a tree root would appear in the corner of the wall.
Entering the center of the castle, the place seems to suddenly become full of vitality, with green grass, red flowers and lush trees. On the grass, a woman in white is walking with a vague sadness on her face, which makes people feel distressed.
But when they saw this woman's face, everyone except Zhang Yang felt a tightness in their hearts. Qu Shang even stepped in front of Zhang Yang, and the aura of the God of Laws was about to explode.
"Wait a minute!"
Zhang Yang suppressed Qu Shang, who was confused, angry, and had some inexplicable emotions, and just ordered in a low voice:
"She is the ancient god Li Meng, but her strength has been weakened to the state of a demigod. You don't have to worry about anything. You need to stay here. She will teach you the ancient demon clan's skills and inheritance in a comprehensive way. Note that I said all, so you need to allocate some manpower to make comprehensive records, and another part of the manpower to conduct research. In addition, you must reserve the most manpower and the most capable forces to master the ancient demon clan's attainments in the plane barrier and the heavenly barrier in the shortest time. After all, among the five ancient clans, the ancient demon clan is the one that has preserved the most complete inheritance so far."
"What are the five ancient tribes?" Qu Shang asked, looking up.
"It is the direct cause of the emergence of the second generation of pesticides. In the past, there were five acquired creatures: the ancient witch clan, the ancient demon clan, the ancient Shura clan, the ancient demon clan, and the ancient human clan. These five creatures dominated the fourth sequence. You don't need to know how strong they were when they were at their strongest, but you do need to know their current situation."
Zhang Yang said calmly that everyone here was his core follower, so as long as the secrets of the innate creatures were not touched upon, this kind of secret event could be told, and the loyalty index could be increased at the same time.
"The main body of the Ancient Witch Clan should have been wiped out. Aside from a few Ancient God-level beings that escaped to the Third Sequence, there are still nine branches left. The Xing Clan that was wiped out not long ago is a branch of the Ancient Witch Clan. As for the other eight branches, five are in unknown locations in the Fourth Sequence, and three have been reduced to the Fifth Sequence."
"As for the ancient Shura clan, the main body was also destroyed, and the branches fled separately. Some of them were downgraded to the fifth sequence, and some of them survived to this day, that is, the Thousand-Handed Human Clan. So now you know why Mu Shaoan always mentions the Thousand-Handed Shura when he opens his mouth and closes his mouth when he closes his mouth."
"The ancient demons were the worst off. There were almost no surviving branches or descendants in the fourth sequence. All of them were downgraded to the fifth sequence. Of course, they were also the most powerful and fierce at the time. Don't ask me why."
"Then there are the ancient humans. How should I put it? We are also human, so there is no need for me to judge. In short, the ancient humans who have left behind the fourth sequence have the most branches, and the ancient humans who have been reduced to the fifth sequence still have the most. You don't need to ask me the reason."
"Finally, there are the ancient demons. They suffered the least losses in the catastrophe of the second generation of pesticides. In addition to being more cowardly, they are also the best at plane barriers. So, our experience tells us how important it is to have a solid gate."
"The above is what I have told you. Master what you need to learn as soon as possible. Now we have mastered the ancient Shura clan's divine seal, and have basically mastered the ancient witch clan's battle pattern. We have almost mastered the ancient demon clan's mantra. If we can perfectly integrate the ancient demon clan's heavenly realm, I think we will have a little confidence to face the third generation of insecticides."
“Don’t ask me what the third generation of insecticide is. I can only say that even the ancient gods would have to flee in fear. All the acquired creatures in the fourth sequence are actually working hard. Everyone knows that the third generation of insecticide will appear sooner or later. You are all carefully selected by me, and you are also the real human elites who are fully recognized by me. I hope you can live up to my expectations of you and the core style of my ancient human race!”
"Work hard. I will only give you fifty years. Within fifty years, you must thoroughly master the demon race's heavenly realm!"
