Chapter 527: Canonization
Since He Yimou, Zhao Baiyi, Taoyao, Qu Shang, and Li Guohuai preached and taught at the Tianjian Sect’s mountain gate, in just ten years, 38,400 second-generation disciples have successfully advanced to the Mahayana realm.
This also brings the total number of Mahayana sword cultivators in the Tianjian Sect to 41,900.
At the same time, the total number of second-generation disciples in the Spirit Severing Realm exceeded 100,000, and the total number of second-generation disciples in the Nascent Soul Realm exceeded 200,000.
These numbers sound simply shocking, especially to those who have experienced the Fifth Sequence.
In the fifth sequence, cultivators in the Mahayana realm can be called top masters. Having dozens of them in the world at the same time is enough to make the world unstable. If there are hundreds of them, the world will go bankrupt.
There are actually many reasons for this, but there are two main ones.
First, resources are scarce and spiritual energy is thin. For example, the flamboyant Tianjian Sect disciples use the huge hidden sword veins to directly liquefy spiritual energy for cultivation. How can it be compared with the thin gaseous spiritual energy in the fifth sequence that cannot be seen by the naked eye? Second, the soul is not complete enough, so naturally it is not easy to comprehend the sword rhyme and the Tao rhyme, and it is not easy to understand the secrets of heaven. But the disciples of the Tianjian Sect, the worst ones who have to bear children, have a 100% soul integrity. For newborn babies, as long as the resources and training keep up, then the one-leaf true spirit should not be too easy.
What's more, what level of skills are being practiced by the disciples of Tianjian Sect now?
It was a god-level technique that Zhang Yang and a group of core disciples stole from the Thousand Hands Clan. If the speed is not fast enough, then it would be really weird.
And because the preaching of He Yimou and the other four was so effective, now in this world, and even in the Tianjian Sect, the reputation of Zhang Yang, the founder, has been dimmed.
Due to the praise of many disciples and followers, He Yimou, Zhao Baiyi, Tao Yao, Qu Shang, Li Guohuai were even revered as the Five Saints.
Well, initially this was only what the disciples themselves thought, or even if they thought so, they only thought about it in their hearts, and the core generation of disciples were not willing to show off.
However, after the ambitious Lady Tiandao sensed this, she immediately bestowed the merits and laws of Tiandao and honored the five of them as the Five Saints.
This is actually a small matter, at least if you look at the big picture.
But from the perspective of this world, the identities of these five saints are extremely impressive. With the protection of enormous merits of the Heavenly Dao, they will be invincible in this world from now on, although this is meaningless to He Yimou and the other five people.
Unless one day, the value of this world becomes as great as that of the ancient world, or unless other changes occur, the titles of these five saints will be just that.
Zhang Yang didn't take it seriously until one day Tian Dao Xiao Niang sent him a grand plan for the future. He was surprised. Was his family already so wealthy? In this plan, the area where the Hidden Sword Earth Vein extends will be expanded to a diameter of 100,000 kilometers.
One hundred thousand kilometers! What does that mean? How much is the radius of the earth?
That would be almost a billion square kilometers.
Even now, it covers nearly 100 million square kilometers.
Of course this is still small.
The world of the Thousand-Handed Race is divided into three layers. Not counting the outer and inner layers, the middle layer alone, where mortals live, has a diameter of almost 10 million kilometers.
Such a big world requires more than just land. The construction of the Heavenly Dao barrier does not require resources. The construction of the sun, moon and stars, and the storage of spiritual energy do not require resources. The reproduction and evolution of various creatures also require massive resources.
Just in Zhang Yang's small world, nearly 15 million units of cosmic laws have been invested for this purpose, but it is just a drop in the ocean. Only one-tenth of the area has been developed now. This is also the release of the super reproductive ability of the Wood Monster clan, and the addition of the Dragon clan and the Thousand-Hand clan.
In short, it is impossible to build a cultivated land without tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of years.
So Zhang Yang could only smile bitterly, as Tiandao girl was asking him for funds.
He had no choice but to take out another fifty units of ancient rules.
So far, he only had nine hundred units left of the one thousand units of ancient laws he had previously obtained.
Not only that, Tiandao Girl has urged him many times to quickly open the path of ascension, because there are too many Mahayana sword cultivators, which will put too much pressure on this new world.
Especially the forty-five first-generation disciples including Jiang Rong, they were not ordinary Mahayana sword cultivators, they were all old monsters who had fully mastered the Chaos Divine Seal, the Six Imperial Divine Seal, and the Yin-Yang Divine Seal. Every time they went into seclusion, the amount of resources they consumed made Tiandao Xiaoniang couldn't help but curse.
"Boss, if you don't let them ascend, believe it or not, I will prepare an immeasurable catastrophe!"
"It's easy for me. For the healthy growth of this world, I even forgot to transform."
Listening to Tiandao Xiaoniang's complaints, Zhang Yang just wanted to roll his eyes. Although this was the truth, the problem was that the landlord had no surplus food.
Guys like Jiang Rong have all met the standards for ascending to the ninth level. Once they ascend, we must fulfill our promise and allow them to impact on becoming gods.
But damn, I haven't even gathered enough resources to be reborn, and you guys want to attack the gods? It's better to continue to stabilize your realm down there, continue to make up for the gaps, revise your skills and divine seals, and train disciples.
Wait, just one word.
This wait lasted another hundred years, which was the five hundredth year since this world entered the Land of Exile in the Eight Wildernesses.
When Zhang Yang finally mastered the twenty-seven-character divine prohibition and could use it to activate it at will, and when Qu Shang took the lead in triggering the laws of the great way, he was only one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, eleven and one hundred steps away from becoming a god of laws.
Zhang Yang finally opened the path to ascension.
Jiang Rong, Wu Jun and ten other core disciples with extremely solid foundations, rich accumulation of sword skills and sword rhythm, and extremely calm minds were allowed to "ascend" to the Ship of Death, preparing to start a new round of competition to impact the gods.
As for the next batch of people who can ascend, it will take fifty, no, one hundred years.
After all, resources are scarce! "Disciple greets Master!"
On the deck of the Death Ship, which was as spacious as a square, ten newly ascended disciples including Jiang Rong, Wu Jun, Li Si and five others including He Yimou respectfully bowed and greeted Zhang Yang's true spirit, which had become the same size as a real person.
At this moment, even Qu Shang, who has the strongest strength, and Tao Yao, who has the strongest true spirit, cannot tell whether Zhang Yang's body is a physical body or a true spirit.
Because this true spirit body is so "solid", it is almost completely identical to the immortal body of the Mahayana realm. But if anyone dares to think so, he will surely die without knowing how he died.
"Haha, no need to be so polite. I am very satisfied with your performance over the past five hundred years. To the Tianjian Sect, you can all be saints."
Zhang Yang gave high praise and affirmation to these fifteen disciples with just one sentence.
"I am ashamed."
"The disciple is terrified!"
The fifteen people hurriedly bowed again, especially He Yimou's five disciples who were to be canonized, they hurried to be humble. In fact, the underlying meaning of Zhang Yang's words was very clear, that is, all fifty core first-generation disciples were qualified to be canonized, so it was best for everyone to be open-minded and not create jealousy and intrigue, as destroying unity was the greatest sin.
"Um."
Zhang Yang nodded, expressing his satisfaction, and the matter was forgotten, and he went straight to the point.
"In my opinion, all fifteen of you have a chance of successfully becoming a god. It's even very high. After all, your foundation is incredibly strong, and you are second-generation human beings. As long as the resources are in place, becoming a god is not that rare. However, I must tell you three things now."
"First, in the fourth sequence, based on the status of acquired creatures, there is an unspoken rule, that is, if there are more than ten gods in a civilization, then the innate creatures will pay attention to it, and then you know what will happen, that is, a swarm of mechanical zombies will swarm in. Therefore, in order to prevent the tide of mechanical zombies from affecting innocent people, in the area where this civilization is located, other civilizations will attack it before this civilization has ten gods."
"Secondly, even if our civilization can withstand the attacks of our neighbors and mechanical zombies, as long as the number of gods in our civilization exceeds ten, it will cause 'sedimentation' to the regional dimension. What is sedimentation? It means that the world can no longer be maintained. For example, why should we canonize He Yimou in our world? It means that we have given you all the honor you deserve, but you don't have to go home to visit us. That will have an unbearable impact on all the structures of that world."
"I must point out a fact here. That is, the basic premise for us to develop peacefully in this exile land for three thousand years is that we cannot have more than three gods, otherwise we will be exiled immediately."
At this point, Zhang Yang glanced at everyone and raised three fingers. "Third, we are sword cultivators, so the rhythm of sword cultivation and the way of sword cultivation are what we pursue. Since it is a pursuit, it must be pure, even ruthlessly pure. As for this sword way, my hope is to perfect it, improve it, and eventually raise it to the height of law. This is the law of sword cultivation, or it can also be called the law of sword immortals, the law of sword gods, no matter what the name is, I hope that the way we pursue can have a place in this long river of time, the six major sequences, and the heavens and myriad worlds."
"To achieve this goal, our usual requirements are too backward. It is not a simple accumulation of resources, and eventually let a million sword cultivators sweep the world. Yes, that is spectacular, but I don't want to be just a locust. We have to have higher requirements. Therefore, I hope that among you, a law god can appear."
"You guys, do you understand what I mean?"
Zhang Yang said here, and then extended a finger, "So far, the fifteen of you are the most outstanding sword immortals in the Heavenly Sword Sect. Don't compare with me, I'm a hodgepodge, but you should be able to do it, so I hope you can temporarily put aside your utilitarianism, don't think about it, don't rush to break through to the Heavenly God, but work together to improve our swordsmanship, to sublimate our swordsmanship, let it rise from the level of the Tao to the level of the Great Dao, and then from the level of the Great Dao to the level of the Law, the Law!"
"Whether we are the first or not, we only do what we should do. From now on, until the end of the third thousand years, I hope to see a perfect, complete, sword law! By then, the strongest will become a god of law!"
