Chapter 456: Swallowing

Chen Zhixing doesn’t like people talking to him while lying down.

But this is the other party's way of survival.

However, what’s interesting is that when the other person maintains this posture, Chen Zhixing feels that the other person is really safe.

so.

"Is this world crazy, or am I crazy?"

“.”

"I didn't talk to you."

“.”

The Sword God lowered his head again, and this time even lower.

Chen Zhixing raised his hand and rubbed his forehead.

"After achieving enlightenment, those in the Immortal Realm no longer like to talk to mortals. Perhaps this is the reason. They are regarded as man-eating tigers. No matter if they are laughing, scolding, happy, angry, sad, or joyful, just a small movement can arouse fear in others' hearts."

“.”

"Forget it, that's it. Just do whatever you have in mind. I'll pretend I don't know anything until someone finds me."

"Senior, I will never forget your kindness."

The sound of kowtows was heard.

Pretending to be a grandson for a few days can gain the power to rule a state. When faced with such a thing, who would care about dignity?

Chen Zhixing's discomfort was probably because he hadn't adjusted his mindset yet, or he knew the consequences of allowing the old man with the magic sword to do so, but he didn't care.

The simplest example is that in his previous life, Chen Zhixing watched a TV series called Kuang Biao. In the TV series, a fishmonger became a gangster not long after he took advantage of a policeman's reputation. If the two did not conflict with each other afterwards, would the policeman care that the gangster took advantage of his reputation at the beginning of his business?

The title of a small policeman can bring such an impact, let alone a big Buddha like Chen Zhixing.

Whether Chen Zhixing cares or not, the old Sword God doesn’t know.

He only knew that after receiving Chen Zhixing's promise, his heart, which had been silent for hundreds of years, began to beat violently again.

“The gods and Buddhas are far away.”

The old Sword God muttered something in a low voice, then straightened his hunched back and walked towards the front yard.

Today he still has to discuss the merger with those sect leaders, and also give the new sect a resounding name. Well, let's call it the Iron Sword Sect!

After Old Man Tiejian left.

In Chen Zhixing's courtyard, Shi Hao walked out from behind the screen with his head lowered.

"Master." After Shi Hao called out, he looked conflicted, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.

Chen Zhixing was worried about him.

Rolling his eyes, Chen Zhixing said unhappily, "Just say what you want to say."

"Hehe." Shi Hao scratched his head: "Master, I saw the figure of the old man leaving just now, and he looked like a dog."

"Resemblance?" Chen Zhixing glanced at him.

"Like, really. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have thought that this senior would have such a side to him." Shi Hao said confidently, and then he talked about the way he communicated with the old man with the magic sword in the past few days, and finally said: "This senior's swordsmanship attainments are extraordinary. I really didn't expect him to be so spineless when facing his master."

"backbone?"

Hearing these two words, a hint of trance flashed across Chen Zhixing's eyes.

How many years has it been since he heard this word? It seems that it has not appeared since he traveled through time.

He thought that there had never been such a saying in the world, but he didn't expect it existed.

For a moment, Chen Zhixing was in a bad mood. He originally wanted to explain to Shi Hao that "integrity is worthless in the face of interests", but he swallowed his words back.

He wanted to take something back, but when he put his hand into his sleeve, he felt nothing.

After a pause of a few seconds, Chen Zhixing said in a deep voice:

"Shi Hao, backbone is very important. Well, remember what you said today, and don't become like him someday in the future."

"Hey, Master, I won't!"

"Yeah," Chen Zhixing chuckled.

Don’t find yourself turning into the person you once hated the most one day in the future. It turns out that it is not difficult to integrate a bunch of small forces into a giant.

As long as the person in charge has power and a firm heart, all of this will not be a difficult task for him.

This is how the old man with the magic sword integrated these chaotic forces.

There were four small sects with warriors in the Zhenwu realm, seven lone cultivators in the Zhenwu realm, plus a bunch of miscellaneous things that looked similar to the cultivators from underworld families. All together, there were only about three thousand people.

Adding on the cultivators of the Iron Sword Sect itself, Old Man Divine Sword now has fifteen True Self Realm cultivators and over a hundred Divine Wandering Realm cultivators under his command. Well, it's basically on par with the third-rate small sects in Jiangzhou.

Shi Hao didn't know what the significance of this integration was. He only knew that when the old man with the Divine Sword was doing all this, he seemed to be in an excited state every moment, an excitement that made Shi Hao feel inexplicable.

When the old man with the magic sword was resting, Shi Hao went over to ask him.

"Senior, what's the point of doing this? Even if these low-priced monks are organized, they can't form any combat power. If you really want to expand the sect, wouldn't it be more reliable to use the disciples who have been trained since childhood?"

"You don't understand." The old man with the magic sword smiled brightly.

"What don't you understand?" Shi Hao frowned.

"I gathered them together to give them a chance to survive."

"???"

“Hey.” The old man with the magic sword grabbed Shi Hao’s hand and stroked it gently: “A junior like you who comes from a big family naturally doesn’t need to understand these things, because what I do can get, you are born with it. But if you want to know this truth, I can also talk to you. I think your master shouldn’t mind.”

"You say."

“I do this not because I need them, but because I need the outside world to be without them.”

"What's the meaning?"

"They are cultivators who have practiced cultivation techniques. If we let them fight to the death in Ganzhou without any care, then no matter how long it has been, even if they die and their techniques are taken away by their enemies, these techniques will be passed down from generation to generation in Jiangzhou. But now, they have joined the Iron Sword Sect, and their techniques have naturally become part of the sect. From now on, without the sect's permission, these techniques cannot be passed on to outsiders."

“But what’s the use of these?” Shi Hao couldn’t understand what the use of these broken skills that couldn’t even lead to Nirvana was.

"Use? For us, it is of no use, but Xiaohao, you have to know that if I don't do this, it will be difficult for the Iron Sword Sect to reach the height I want in my lifetime."

"Senior, I know you want to monopolize these skills, but I still don't understand the meaning of your doing this. If you want to strengthen the influence of the Iron Sword Sect, shouldn't you let as many cultivators as possible from outside? If because of your actions, there are only two or three large sects left in the entire Ganzhou, won't your Iron Sword Sect be at the bottom again?"

The old man with the magic sword laughed in silence.

Bottom of the list? That's right.

As long as his Iron Sword Sect takes this lead, the other sects will probably be forced to do the same thing as him. At that time, all the sects in Ganzhou will be merged into a few, and the disciples of the sects can say that they are from several major sects when they go out, but they can only show off their power in the eyes of mortals. The cultivators they meet are all disciples of major sects, and no one needs to envy anyone. In Ganzhou, there is no difference in status, but once they leave Ganzhou, won't everyone be at the bottom again?

But the old man Shenjian knew that he had to do this! Ganzhou was too poor. If all resources could not be concentrated, but were to be split into hundreds of insignificant families like before, then the cultivation world in Ganzhou would not develop no matter how long it lasted, let alone be on par with the outside world.

The Divine Sword Elder did not want to say these words to Shi Hao. After thinking about it, the Divine Sword Elder came up with an explanation: "Wait until the small sects are completely integrated, then it will be the turn of the other sects. By then, after we are all united as one sect, all the cultivators in Ganzhou will be one family. By then, the Ganzhou cultivators who have formed a fist will have the possibility of seeking resources from other states."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

"Are you doing this to grab resources from other states?"

"Well, you can say that, but it's not right." The old man Shenjian shook his head and said, "After all the sects are merged together, the new Shenjian Sect will have more possibilities to resist risks. For example, before, the Iron Sword Sect only had me, a Nirvana, and three Zhenwu Realm disciples. At that time, if we found a secret realm, I knew there were treasures in it, but if we wanted to enter this secret realm, a Zhenwu Realm disciple would have to die, so I would not be able to enter this secret realm because the Iron Sword Sect could not afford this loss.

But if Ganzhou is fully integrated, and there are seven or eight Nirvanas and hundreds of Zhenwu cultivators in the sect, then such a secret realm will be worth developing. Even if it is discovered in the end that the resources developed in the secret realm cannot even support a Zhenwu, it will not be a loss for the Iron Sword Sect as a whole, and it may even be a profit. "

"." Shi Hao didn't understand and felt that there was a logical error here, but after listening to it, he subconsciously felt that there was some truth in it!

"Because we can bear this kind of loss at that time, and there will be no pressure from the outside. The resources we get can be used to train some new disciples. As long as there is time, we can continuously supply monks in the True Self Realm and even the Nirvana Realm."

"So, you are doing this to reduce competition within Ganzhou?"

"We must put all our efforts into one place to change the current situation in Ganzhou."

"I still don't understand, but I think what you said makes sense. Master said that when you encounter such a situation, just remember it in your heart, and you will understand it naturally in the future."

"Is that what your Excellency said?"

"Um."

"As expected of you, Your Excellency. If I had been able to be your disciple in my childhood, I would have achieved immortality by now, right?"

The old man with the divine sword laughed heartily, which was considered a big joke on Shi Hao.

The Iron Sword Sect of the old man with the divine sword began to integrate the practitioners around the Tianduan Mountains.

This action almost disrupted the entire Ganzhou.

Just as the old man with the magic sword said, after the Iron Sword Sect took such action, the other sects could only passively do the same thing.

Unless they want to be swallowed up by the stronger Iron Sword Sect! Of course, there is another possibility. Because the Iron Sword Sect recruited too many disciples, the treatment of the sect seriously declined, causing the people of the Iron Sword Sect to turn away, and finally the powerful Iron Sword Sect naturally disintegrated in the process.

In comparison, the latter is more likely.

Because Ganzhou has limited resources, if all the surrounding small sects were to be incorporated into the sect, then the treatment of the Iron Sword Sect would inevitably have to be reduced.

During this period, those who originally enjoyed the benefits would not agree if they found that their benefits were reduced.

No matter what the reason is, the resources they can get are less! It is basically equivalent to the original salary of one million being reduced to three hundred thousand. Who can accept this huge gap? And this is not a temporary reduction, but a constant reduction! So, why don't they leave the Iron Sword Sect and turn to other large sects that can give them one million? Of course, this part is only a minority, specifically the two realms of Tongshen and Shenyou, that is, the vested interest class of the Iron Sword Sect.

Will they rebel?

meeting.

But the old man with the magic sword had already thought of all this.

The ordinary disciples at the lowest level did not surrender because they did not have many resources to begin with.

These top-level low-level resources are dispensable to them. In comparison, the foundations of the small sects and families that have newly merged into the Divine Sword Sect are what these True Self Realm cultivators value.

And because they had annexed many small forces, the True Self Realm cultivators within the Iron Sword Sect had more people under their command, so their power naturally became greater.

They are still the beneficiaries, and they have gained even more benefits.

The only ones who were truly hurt were the middle-level cultivators in the spiritual and wandering realms, and of course, the many small forces that were forced to merge into the Iron Sword Sect.

From being the master of the house to being someone else’s supporter.

This is not a pleasant feeling.

But do these small forces have the capital to refuse? No!

They could run away, but their survival depended on the resources on the land, and they couldn't take them away! Without these resources, they would be worse off than joining the Iron Sword Sect.

Unless these small sects unite and find a large external force to come, and let this large force force the old man with the Divine Sword to bow his head and give up the idea of ​​harming them.

These small forces have been doing this all along.

If the old man with the divine sword refuses to obey, they will join forces with external forces to defeat the old man with the divine sword and his Iron Sword Sect.

But now it's different! On the one hand, the old man Shenjian had previously stated that he wanted to abdicate and let others take over. After joining the Iron Sword Sect, he might become the Sect Master.

On the other hand, the old man with the divine sword now has enough backers and the power to intimidate other major sects, making them dare not take action.

This is also the reason why the old man with the magic sword kowtowed to Chen Zhixing.

So, it is natural that there are no taboos for the old man with the magic sword to do this now.

No resistance.

There is no such thing outside, and even less so inside! Now, all the factors for the Ganzhou reshuffle are in place, and what we have to play next is a game of big fish eating small fish.

If you don't eat, you will be eaten by others, and because old man Shenjian has set such a precedent , no one can stop this process unless old man Shenjian calls for a stop himself!
