Chapter 351: Rebellion against oneself, forum war

“The immortals and mortals are connected…” Senior Sister Zhang looked at Zheng Fa, raised her head and smiled, “I have finally waited for this day.”

Yes, I have finally waited for this day.

The Nine Mountains Realm is isolated from the immortals and mortals, which has brought too much trouble to the Nine Mountains Realm.

For example, the various crops researched by Master Qian cannot be promoted in the mortal world due to the separation between immortals and mortals, nor can they utilize the vast land in the mortal world, resulting in their production not being able to be increased. The export of spiritual plants from the Nine Mountains Realm has also always been small-scale.

The impact on exports is only one aspect.

The big problem is the impact on the growth of the mortal population in the Nine Mountains Realm.

The Sun and Moon Bell depends on the development of the Nine Mountains Realm. The Nine Mountains Realm is much better now than before Zheng Fa came, but it is far from what Zheng Fa expected:

The biggest reason is that the research results of Master Qian and his team cannot be transformed into new industries due to the gap between immortals and mortals...

If the industry link of production, education and research is missing, the other two items will be castles in the air and will not last long.

The disappearance of the barrier between immortals and mortals is the last hurdle in completing this cycle.

In Zheng Fa's conception——

The Nine Mountains Realm's mortals are the foundation of the Nine Mountains Realm system, providing the power of incense and talent reserves.

The Jiushan Sect uses the power of incense to conduct research and at the same time give back to the mortal world of Jiushan.

The two complement each other and form a positive cycle.

"Junior brother, this separation between immortals and mortals is not entirely a good thing." Senior Sister Zhang suddenly said seriously, "It is too wasteful for everyone to practice cultivation."

"I have calculated that the resources a Qi training cultivator needs on a daily basis are almost equivalent to the incense power generated by a hundred mortals."

Senior Sister Zhang is in charge of the Nine Mountains Good Deeds, so she has data to support her statement. She added: "We must control the number of people."

Zheng Fa also understood that what he said made sense. Qingjing Bamboo was driving the evolution of the Nine Mountains Realm, but the process was very slow, and no one except Zheng Fa could feel it.

"Senior Sister, I want to make some changes to the Nine Mountains Realm education system."

"Um?"

Zheng Fa seemed to be well prepared and spoke in an orderly manner:

"In my opinion, Jiushan's future education system should be divided into three levels—"

Senior Sister Zhang didn't say anything, but just listened carefully.

The two of them seemed to be just chatting, but there must be a reason why Zheng Faxian informed her.

Although there are three other supreme elders in the Nine Mountains Realm, the two of them are considered to have the highest fighting power. For many matters, decisions are often made by the two of them, and then handed over to the supreme elders to check and fill in the gaps - in other words, the elders generally do not object, but only assist the two to improve.

"Primary education is still in the secular world, with only three subjects - mathematics, grammar, and martial arts."

"Secondary education should be placed on Paradise Island..." Zheng Fa said slowly, "Outstanding students among the ordinary students can go to Paradise Island to study."

“In addition to the three courses mentioned above, what you learn is much richer.”

"How rich?"

"The first thing to do is to learn talisman techniques or topology..." Zheng Fa had indeed thought about it a long time ago, "Now it seems that talisman techniques are the foundation of immortality, and every cultivator should learn them."

"In addition to this, I also hope that they can learn some agricultural knowledge, learn about the customs and practices of the Nine Mountains, or learn how to be a teacher. Most importantly... learn the philosophy of the Nine Mountains Sect."

Senior Sister Zhang was stunned for a moment: "You want to train people to govern the mortal world on Paradise Island?"

"Not only that." Zheng Fa explained, "The outstanding students on Paradise Island will naturally be able to enter the University Island for further study. Those who are not so talented cannot be wasted. After accepting our philosophy on Paradise Island, they can go to the mortal world to govern mortals, or become teachers and guide agricultural production."

Senior Sister Zhang was silent for a moment, then said, "So, Paradise Island is the most important part of my Nine Mountains Realm education?"

Zheng Fa smiled. Senior Sister Zhang pointed out the importance of this matter in one sentence.

Paradise Island is the backbone of the Jiushan education system, connecting the upper and lower levels.

One teacher can influence countless students.

A good ruler can determine the fate of many people.

Zheng Fa could only be extremely cautious.

It is precisely because of this that Zheng Fa wants to keep these students under his nose.

"What about University Island?"

"I also want to split University Island into two parts."

Senior Sister Zhang looked stunned for a moment, as if she had not expected that he would even change the system of University Island.

"Senior Sister, although the Nine Mountains Realm needs to reform, it cannot exclude the traditional geniuses of the former Xuanwei Realm..."

The so-called traditional genius is someone with good aptitude for cultivation, strong comprehension of magic, and high combat talent.

In the system before the Nine Mountains Realm, although these people were not excluded, there was not much room for them to display their talents.

Senior Sister Zhang's eyes lit up and she nodded, "I was thinking about this before. If everything in the Xuanwei Realm is overturned, it will also be a hindrance to my Jiushan."

This is also what Zheng Fa meant - he wanted to change the Immortal Gate system of Xuanwei Realm, but that doesn't mean the Immortal Gate system is wrong. On the contrary, the Immortal Gate has existed for so many years and has its own advantages - or at least, there are realistic factors.

What Zheng Fa needs to do is to integrate modern concepts with this reality.

"I only had this idea after Master and his team figured out the immortal formation. I want to split the current university into two parts. One is for continuing various research, and the other is for practicing fighting and practicing the immortal formation."

Simply put, a research university and a military academy.

One who cultivates new talents in the Nine Mountains and leads the Nine Mountains world forward.

One who cultivates the old-style talents of Xuanwei and maintains the security of the Nine Mountains.

The people of the Great Freedom Demon Cult have a lot to say about the power of the immortal formation. What's more, the study of the immortal formation has just started and there is huge room for development. Zheng Fa has high hopes for it.

"I even plan to build a new school on Zhengxian Island."

The requirements of military academies and ordinary universities are completely different. Military academies require obedience.

Research universities, on the other hand, require relative freedom to a certain extent.

It's better to mix together without disturbing each other.

Senior Sister Zhang was silent for a long time before she sighed, "There are other sects in Xuanwei who consider mortals a burden, but not you. You... really don't let anyone go."

Zheng Fa smiled and said that population burden and population dividend have always been two sides of the same coin. It all depends on how you look at it.

…

Xiaoqing didn't know that Zheng Fa was thinking about how to change the mundane future of the Nine Mountains Realm.

She knelt on a mat in the temple, muttering prayers in a low voice.

Outside the temple, residents of Banshan City were kneeling densely.

After only a few years, the population of Mid-Levels City did not increase much, but the appearance of the people was very different.

When Zheng Fa first entered the Jiushan Realm, most of the people in the city were skinny and sallow.

Now, not only Xiaoqing looks much plumper.

There was also a lot more color on these people's faces.

Although the crops cultivated by Master Qian have not yet been promoted, Zheng Fa has been sending his disciples to control the clouds and rain.

The weather in Mid-Levels City has been good these days, and there are some catches every day.

Coupled with fungus cultivation and the initial domestication of several wild crops, although not everyone could have enough to eat, starvation to death was almost eliminated.

Even though I know that Lord Thundergod doesn't care.

But the temple's incense is getting more and more popular day by day.

There is even a custom of collectively offering gifts to the God of Thunder every three days.

The less Zheng Fa cared, the more fanatical they became...

A few days ago, the heaven and earth changed drastically, with nine stars surrounding the sun.

These people have come here to pray every day in the past few days, partly to praise the power of Lord Lei.

On the other hand, I am actually afraid that after the changes in heaven and earth, these good days will be disrupted.

Therefore, everyone's prayers were truly pious and earnest.

The chanting of tens of thousands of people combined together and shook the dome of the temple.

The dome of the temple suddenly lit up.

Xiaoqing looked up and saw that the statue in front of her was glowing, illuminating the entire temple!

Gradually, the light gathered into a human figure in the air. A young man walked out of the light and stood in the air above the temple.

Zheng Fa lowered his head, looked at his hands and feet, then looked at Xiaoqing in front of him, and a smile appeared in his eyes.

"Master Thundergod?"

Xiaoqing only felt that she had dreamed of this gaze, and asked cautiously.

"It's me."

Zheng Fa only said two words before he saw those people who were staring at the temple fall to the ground.

The same was true for Xiaoqing - although they had never seen Zheng Fa, they all recognized Zheng Fa's voice.

Many people banged their heads on the ground.

Lord Thundergod has really come down to earth! "Get up..."

I don’t know if these people didn’t hear it or they didn’t dare to, but none of them stood up.

Zheng Fa raised his hand gently with his palm facing upwards, and a breeze blew through the temple.

Each person felt a pair of large hands holding their arms, forcing them to stand up.

They looked up at Zheng Fa, as if they were overwhelmed by this divine power, and the respect in their eyes was as fanatical as a blazing flame.

Xiao Qing, as a temple priest, had the most dealings with Zheng Fa, so she could still muster up the courage to speak: "Master Thunder God, do you have any instructions?"

"Order?"

Zheng Fa's purpose of coming here is naturally to explain the reforms to the Nine Mountains Realm. It would be best if he could visit all the places, answer the questions of these mortals, and urge them to study hard.

But that was not enough to make him come in person.

He glanced at the statue behind him, then at the magnificent decorations of the temple, and said, "My last name is Zheng."

"ah?"

"My name is Zheng Fa. I am just like you. I have a name, a surname, a father, a mother, and a younger sister..."

Xiaoqing slowly widened her eyes.

Zheng Fa seemed not to notice her expression: "I used to be a mortal like you."

Now, even those people outside the temple couldn't help but start whispering.

They all understood that Lord Thunder God would not lie to them.

But... mortals like them?

"But now, I can control thunder and lightning."

Zheng Fa pointed to the sky, and colorful thunder in the sky bloomed like fireworks, illuminating everyone's face.

There was a kind of longing on their faces - countless people in the Nine Mountains Realm had died in lightning strikes from generation to generation...

“I can bring a good harvest.”

Zheng Fa pointed to the river valley, and in the valley, flowers of various shapes and colors bloomed. In a few breaths, fruits grew on various plants, and it was a scene of abundance.

Some people in Banshan City began to cry - they thought of their relatives and friends who had starved to death.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Zheng Fa looked at them with mixed feelings of sadness and joy, and suddenly asked, "Do you want to learn?"

"Learn?" Xiao Qing seemed to not understand the word and asked blankly, "How do I learn?"

The people outside the temple were full of anticipation.

Zheng Fa chuckled, and with the chuckle, several books that he had given to Xiaoqing before jumped in front of everyone.

“Start learning from these.”

Xiaoqing opened her mouth wide, looking at the textbook that she was very familiar with, with one word on her face - How come I didn't know that what I learned was so powerful?

"Of course, just learning this is not enough." Zheng Fa seemed to understand her doubts and said, "You still need to do one more thing."

A hint of doubt appeared on Xiaoqing's face.

He turned around and gently stretched out his hand towards the statue.

Everyone watched helplessly as the statue, which had stood there for who knows how many years, slowly and unstoppably fell backwards.

Bang! There was a loud noise.

The clay statue fell to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

This loud noise seemed to hit the hearts and internal organs of the people in Banshan City, causing them shock, pain, fear, and then anger.

This is the statue of Lord Thunder! But looking at Zheng Fa, they could no longer be angry - the one who pushed down the statue was actually Lord Thunder himself.

"Master Thundergod!"

Xiaoqing shouted loudly.

Zheng Fa turned his head and looked at Xiao Qing, then looked at the group of confused and lost people in Banshan City, and slowly said:

"Perhaps there really are immortals and gods in this world..."

"But we cannot have a supreme God in our hearts..." Xiaoqing listened to Zheng Fa's last sentence in a daze.

"That's what I want you to remember."

Zheng Fa understood that the so-called gap between immortals and mortals was not only in the sky, but perhaps also in the hearts of these people.

To eliminate the barrier between immortals and mortals in the Nine Mountains Realm, one needs the Pure and Tranquil Bamboo, which is extremely difficult.

But...the separation between immortals and mortals in my heart doesn't seem that simple.

…

Zheng Fa spent a lot of time in the mortal world toppling the statues of gods. As soon as he returned to Wanxian Island, he found that personal worship had already begun in the forum.

There is a post that has been extremely popular these days.

The title of the post is very outrageous: "After seeing the vision of the master advancing to the middle stage of the Golden Core, do you think that if they were both in the Golden Core stage, how many Tianhe masters could the master defeat?"

Zheng Fa: ...

Even though Madam Xuanhua has been working hard to refine the Tongjian, Zheng Fa's cultivation has greatly improved, and the number of disciples who have mastered the Tongjian in the Jiushan Realm has exceeded one hundred.

But this post...actually already has thousands of views!

Mainly quarreling!

He looked at what everyone had said in the post.

I don’t know if they were trying to please me or if they really thought so - 60% of the people said that they could subdue two Tianhe Venerables by themselves, one in each hand, just right.

Another 30% seemed to think that this group of people was too conservative and just said to start with three!

Among the last ten percent of the replies, more than half said that they could fight one-on-one with Venerable Tianhe and would definitely not be at a disadvantage.

A small number of people may be relatively rational. They feel that they don't know Reverend Tianhe very well, and say that it is hard to say who will win between the two.

Well, there are one or two upright people, or fanatical fans of Tianhe Reverend, who say that Tianhe Reverend is stronger.

no……

Are you so interested in this topic?

Zheng Fa himself felt that he had no idea about this question - his greatest reliance was his two magical powers and the Nine Mountains Realm.

Let’s not talk about his magical powers, but it seems that Tianhe Zun has a Tianbei Realm? I don’t know if he can control this thing in the Jindan stage...

He actually didn't know much about Venerable Tianhe.

The number of replies to this post was still growing crazily. Zheng Fa took a closer look and found that there was a person who was probably a die-hard fan of Tianhe Zun, who was engaging in a verbal battle with a group of scholars in the post... or rather, he was being verbally beaten up by other disciples.

This person was unyielding and kept insisting that Venerable Tianhe's strength in the Jindan stage was unparalleled in the world.

But because he couldn't provide any decent evidence, he seemed stubborn and unreasonable.

Not only did he have few allies, but he was also scolded by others.

…

"What that person said does make some sense."

After Zheng Fa, Uncle Pang and others had explained the education reform matters in the Nine Mountains Realm, they heard Elder Xuehe suddenly mention the post.

"Um?"

"Venerable Tianhe... has a title, the greatest golden elixir of all time."

"The first golden elixir?"

"Yes, not this era, nor the last era, but... since the beginning of recorded history."

"Whose record?"

Zheng Fa asked a very crucial question.

The history of the Xuanwei Realm is very vague, and each sect has a different understanding of history - in the previous view of the Jiushan Sect, there was no such thing as the Shinto Era.

But the Five Xuanwei Sects might all know some things about the previous two eras.

"At least the Supreme Dao recognizes this title." The Blood River Patriarch shook his head. Without waiting for Zheng Fa to ask again, he continued, "The Tianhe Sect where the Tianhe Venerable came from... well, may be even worse than the Jiushan Sect before."

“It’s hard to say whether there are any Yuanying stage people in the sect.”

Zheng Fa glanced at the Blood River Ancestor. Ever since he advanced to the middle stage of the Golden Core, this man has changed subtly and would even take the initiative to tell some secrets.

Some of Reverend Tianhe's deeds were deliberately erased, and the only information about him that is available is probably limited to these demonic sects and the Five Sects.

What's more, the Great Free Demon Ancestor was killed by Venerable Tianhe, so he probably cares about him more.

It is only natural that the Blood River Patriarch knows some secrets.

"In fact, in his early years, Venerable Tianhe was not well-known, and there was nothing special about him in that era... I read in the classics that at that time, there were many young monks who seemed to be more talented and had better backgrounds than him..."

“But after forming the elixir, things are very different.”

"How is it different?"

The one asking the questions was Senior Sister Zhang. Not only Senior Sister Zhang, but also Uncle Pang, Old Man Yuan, and even Uncle Huang surrounded Old Ancestor Xuehe, all of them very interested - it was clear that gossip was not just something the disciples liked.

“No one knows how he cultivated to the Jindan stage, but after entering the Jindan stage, this person unexpectedly made a stunning debut, his fighting skills were unparalleled, and he reached the top of Xuanwei!”

"No one can tell how strong he was at that time, but there are some records in my Great Freedom Demon Sect..."

"The Tianhe Sword Dao was formed when he was in the Jindan stage. From then on, sword cultivation became the most powerful cultivation method for killing in the Xuanwei Realm..."

At this point, the Blood River Patriarch sighed: "It is said that the most profound method of Tianhe Sword Dao has now been lost even by the Tianhe School..."

"The most profound method?"

Zheng Fa suddenly asked.

"This... the Holy Ancestor was vague about it before..." The Blood River Ancestor shook his head and said, "It seems like, it's called refining swords into silk?"

"What else is there... One sword creates all things or One sword destroys all things?"

It seemed that he really hadn't remembered, and the Blood River Patriarch only said these few terms.

Uncle Pang and the others also sounded confused and seemed to have no idea what this thing was.

But Zheng Fa and Senior Sister Zhang looked at each other, and they both thought of one thing in their hearts - they had all seen the words "Refine the Sword into Silk"! Yan Wushuang's booklet mentioned this thing - Xie Qingxue once said that if you don't practice the Nine-Turn Golden Pill Method, you can't practice the realm of Refining the Sword into Silk.

Unexpectedly, I heard this word again from the Blood River Ancestor.

…

Yan Wushuang just felt that his senior sister Xie Qingxue was crazy.

He watched helplessly as the senior sister gritted her teeth at his Tongjian, then stood up and walked around with a flushed face, and even raised her hand as if she wanted to smash the treasure, which made his heart ache.

He watched from the side for a while and thought it would be best not to appear in front of the senior sister at this time, so he wanted to run away secretly.

Unexpectedly, Xie Qingxue suddenly turned around and stared at him fiercely with murderous eyes.

"Big...Big Sister?"

"You teach me."

"ah?"

"You are the most irritating person in the door, teach me."

“…”
