Chapter 580: The meeting concluded; the Di Li Xuan Realm is about to step into a new era

"Promote the Blessed Cultivator inheritance throughout the entire Di Li Xuan Realm? I fear that is somewhat inappropriate."

"The Dao of Blessed Cultivation is not yet perfected. This seat feels it is temporarily unsuitable to promote the Blessed Cultivator inheritance throughout the entire Di Li Xuan Realm."

"Indeed, this seat also opposes promoting the Blessed Cultivator inheritance throughout the entire Di Li Xuan Realm."

No sooner had Cen Zhe's proposal been put forward than it was immediately met with rejection from a portion of the Mahayana Realm powerhouses.

However, within the great hall, a small portion of Mahayana Realm cultivators spoke up to support Cen Zhe's proposal: "I, for one, feel that Fellow Daoist Cen Zhe's proposal can be passed."

"Precisely. Promoting the Blessed Cultivator inheritance to the entire Di Li Xuan Realm would allow all small-scale forces within the Di Li Xuan Realm to achieve self-sufficiency in resources. It is a great merit!"

"The two fellow daoists are correct. This seat also supports Fellow Daoist Cen Zhe's proposal."

Cen Zhe swept his gaze across the hall, looking at the Mahayana Realm powerhouses who rejected his proposal and those who supported it; he knew the situation clearly in his heart.

Those Mahayana Realm powerhouses who rejected his proposal all hailed from the various hegemon-level forces within the Di Li Xuan Realm; they themselves already controlled the Blessed Cultivator inheritance.

As for those Mahayana Realm powerhouses who supported his proposal, they were either from pseudo-hegemon-level forces or were powerhouses from the loose cultivator alliances within the Di Li Xuan Realm—all of them were Mahayana Realm cultivators who did not control the Blessed Cultivator inheritance.

Beyond this, inside the great hall:

More Mahayana Realm powerhouses belonging to three different camps did not immediately refute or support the proposal upon hearing it; instead, they fell into deep thought, beginning to weigh the pros and cons of promoting the Blessed Cultivator inheritance throughout the entire Di Li Xuan Realm.

Cen Zhe did not rush to speak either. While giving everyone time to think, his gaze also turned toward the few Mahayana Realm powerhouses who had rejected his proposal, carrying a hint of a smile.

As a controller of a hegemon-level force himself, he naturally understood the reasons why these hegemon-level powerhouses rejected his proposal.

The existence of the Blessed Cultivator inheritance allowed the various hegemon-level forces to produce large quantities of mid- and low-grade spirit herbs within their own territories alone, and it could also accelerate the growth rate of the mid- and low-grade spirit veins within their territories.

Especially in situations where a Blessed Land had an owner, with the Lord of the Blessed Land controlling everything, there was a very high probability of cultivating some extremely special spirit herbs that were relatively rare in the outside world.

With mid- and low-grade resources in abundant supply:

Every hegemon-level force would release a portion of their resources after a period of time, selling and supplying them to the small-scale forces affiliated under them, which included these special spirit herbs that were extremely rare in the outside world.

These special spirit herbs could be used to create various medicinal baths or elixirs of excellent quality.

To a certain extent, a small portion of the reason why a large number of small-scale forces actively attached themselves to the various hegemon-level forces was due to this.

If the Blessed Cultivator inheritance were promoted throughout the entire Di Li Xuan Realm, all mid- and small-scale forces within the Di Li Xuan Realm, and even some small cultivation groups, could achieve self-sufficiency in low-grade resources in the short term.

In this way, their reliance on the various hegemon-level forces would be greatly weakened.

However, this was secondary.

The Cultivation World ultimately respects strength; the achievement of self-sufficiency in low-grade resources by various large and small forces would not affect the status of the hegemon-level forces.

The subjective factors of the few Mahayana Realm powerhouses who rejected Cen Zhe's proposal did not lie here either.

The main reason they rejected it was the worry that after the Blessed Cultivator inheritance was promoted to the entire Di Li Xuan Realm, it would affect the quality of the mid- and low-level disciples under their respective forces in the future.

This was not alarmist talk.

Take the Profound Heaven Sect, for example. Many small affiliated forces under the Profound Heaven Sect, such as the Ye family from which Ye Ye Qingxuan hailed.

Why would the Ye family send disciples with good talent in the family to the Profound Heaven Sect? It was because the Ye family's resources could not sufficiently supply those clansmen with good talent; in order to allow the clansmen's talent to be fully unleashed, the Ye family had no choice but to send them into the Profound Heaven Sect to cultivate.

At the beginning, the Ye family sent clansmen with five-element spiritual root talent to the Profound Heaven Sect, letting the clansmen thoroughly join the Profound Heaven Sect.

Later, the Ye family received resource feedback from Ye Ye Qingxuan, and with various resources in the family being sufficient, those with five-element spiritual root talent born in the family were no longer sent into the Profound Heaven Sect to cultivate.

It was not just the Profound Heaven Sect; the landscape within the territories of the various hegemon-level forces in the Di Li Xuan Realm was mostly like this.

The main worry in the hearts of the few Mahayana Realm cultivators who rejected Cen Zhe's proposal was:

The appearance of a large number of low-grade Blessed Lands naturally would not affect the overall situation.

But if the Blessed Cultivator inheritance were promoted to the entire Di Li Xuan Realm, and they waited for the Blessed Cultivator inheritance to be passed down for several dozen generations within the Di Li Xuan Realm, mid-grade Blessed Lands would gradually be born.

Once mid-grade Blessed Lands appeared, the small-scale forces attached under them would achieve self-sufficiency in mid-grade resources.

These small-scale forces certainly would not break away from their attachment because of this, but they would also not easily send disciples with good talent from their clans or sects into the hegemon-level forces they belonged to for cultivation as they had before.

It was not just these small-scale forces attached under them.

Even the loose cultivator groups that were originally scattered everywhere in the Di Li Xuan Realm would recruit a large number of disciples due to sufficient resources, gradually transforming into various forces.

In this way, as hegemon-level forces, the elite disciples and seeds of high-grade cultivators they recruited would naturally not be affected too much by the appearance of mere mid- and low-grade Blessed Lands.

However, it was foreseeable that once the Blessed Cultivator inheritance was promoted throughout the entire Di Li Xuan Realm, the quality of the mid- and low-level disciples recruited by the various hegemon-level forces in the future would definitely be subjected to a relatively large impact.

The reputation of hegemon-level forces was indeed great, but the mortals within the Di Li Xuan Realm did not have much autonomy.

If someone with five- or six-element spiritual root talent was born among the mortals surviving under the various forces, and these forces did not release them when resources were sufficient, wanting to take them under their own wings to cultivate—

These hegemon-level forces would not have much of a way to deal with it.

They couldn't just throw away their dignity and start snatching people for the sake of mere five- or six-element spiritual root talent, could they?

In that case, wouldn't the order they had painstakingly managed before all go down the drain? But if they did not step in to intervene, in the long run, it would definitely affect the quality of the mid- and low-level disciples under these hegemon-level forces.

Although this was not enough to shake their foundations, it would ultimately produce bad results.

Therefore, those few Mahayana Realm powerhouses spoke up to veto Cen Zhe's proposal immediately after he put it forward.

If not for this reason, how could the Blessed Cultivator inheritance have been firmly locked down by the various hegemon-level forces for so many years, circulating only among the various hegemon-level forces? After waiting for a moment, once the many Mahayana Realm powerhouses in the great hall had fallen into deep thought, Cen Zhe continued to speak:

"I will not say much about the drawbacks of promoting the Dao of Blessed Cultivation throughout the entire Di Li Xuan Realm."

"I will just speak of the two major benefits of promoting the Dao of Blessed Cultivation on a large scale for the current situation of the Di Li Xuan Realm!"

"This first benefit is that after the Blessed Cultivator inheritance is promoted on a large scale, it will be conducive to the stability of the Di Li Xuan Realm's situation."

Looking at the look of confusion in the eyes of a portion of the Mahayana Realm powerhouses in the great hall, Cen Zhe's expression turned solemn, and he said in a deep voice:

"I presume everyone here has some understanding of the current situation in the Di Li Xuan Realm, right?"

"Ever since the appearance of the two-world wormhole passage, a large number of the Green Demon Race have invaded our Di Li Xuan Realm, destroying a large number of mid- and low-grade spirit lands within the Di Li Xuan Realm in just a few hundred years."

"After a large number of mid- and low-grade spirit lands were destroyed, the consequence brought about is that the mid- and low-grade spirit herbs within most mid- and small-scale forces in our Di Li Xuan Realm are now in short supply, and the gap is very large." "In the provinces within the territories of you fellow daoists, because most areas are protected by the forces you belong to, this situation is temporarily not obvious."

"However, in the provinces outside the territories of you fellow daoists, there are already quite a few mid- and small-scale forces that have generated endless strife due to resource issues."

"Especially those younger generations who have just stepped onto the path of cultivation not long ago; their cultivation bases are low and weak, and they are not enough to enter the Green Demon Realm to plunder resources to aid their own cultivation, so they can only rely on mid- and low-grade resources within the Di Li Xuan Realm to cultivate in the early stages."

"The mortals and mid- and low-grade cultivators of our Di Li Xuan Realm have already been severely damaged by the invasion of the Green Demon Realm."

"Not to mention that insufficient resources will lead to a slowing of the cultivation speed of the new generation of cultivators."

"If we let their strife go unchecked and let these younger generation cultivators suffer large-scale casualties in the competition for resources among various forces—"

"In the long run, it will inevitably affect the future situation of the Di Li Xuan Realm."

"Now, only by promoting the Blessed Cultivator inheritance throughout the entire Di Li Xuan Realm and allowing these mid- and small-scale forces to achieve self-sufficiency in resources can we thoroughly resolve this kind of dispute and stabilize the situation within the Di Li Xuan Realm."

"Moreover, after resources are sufficient, these younger generation cultivators can grow up faster and have the strength to hunt the Green Demon Race to aid their own cultivation."

"This is only the first point."

"Secondly, ever since our Di Li Xuan Realm suffered the invasion of the Green Demon Realm, high-grade spirit veins have been guarded by large-scale forces and have not been plundered much by the Green Demon Race."

"However, nearly thirty percent of the large number of mid- and low-grade spirit veins within the Di Li Xuan Realm have been plundered away by the Green Demon Race in just a few hundred years."

"If it weren't for the fact that the powerhouses of our Di Li Xuan Realm have also been counter-invading the Green Demon Realm all these years, and the large amount of Source of Demon Veins plundered back and sacrificed to make up for the vacancy of these spirit veins, our Di Li Xuan Realm would have long since been affected in its progress of upgrading to a Great Thousand Realm due to the damage to a large number of spirit veins."

"The Dao of Blessed Cultivation can allow Blessed Cultivators to contract spirit veins, transforming the spirit lands where the spirit veins are located into Blessed Lands, forming a space of their own."

"In this way, the concealment of spirit veins is greatly increased, which can protect low-grade spirit veins to a certain extent and reduce the risk of them being plundered away."

"Moreover, with Blessed Cultivators guarding them, after spirit lands transform into Blessed Lands, the speed at which the spirit veins within them devour outside energy and transform it into spiritual energy will increase significantly, accelerating the accumulation of the Di Li Xuan Realm's foundation to a certain extent."

"Therefore, promoting the Dao of Blessed Cultivation throughout the entire Di Li Xuan Realm can not only reduce the probability of low-grade spirit veins being destroyed and plundered by the Green Demon Race, but it can also accelerate the growth rate of spirit veins and accelerate the progress of the Di Li Xuan Realm upgrading to a Great Thousand Realm."

As he spoke, Cen Zhe looked at the few Mahayana Realm powerhouses who had rejected his proposal before with a meaningful gaze, and said in a faint tone: "In the competition with the Green Demon Realm, if our Di Li Xuan Realm accidentally fails, then we will truly have nothing left, and everything will be empty."

"By then, it will be too late to regret."

"Therefore, we must now try every possible means to help the Di Li Xuan Realm upgrade to a Great Thousand Realm one step ahead of the Green Demon Realm."

"Once the Di Li Xuan Realm upgrades to a Great Thousand Realm, not only will the Green Demon Realm be nothing to worry about, but the forces we belong to will also enter a brand-new world and step onto a new peak."

"Therefore, I hope that all fellow daoists can look to the future and pass my proposal."

After finishing, Cen Zhe swept his gaze across the circle with a calm look and said no more.

After a moment of silence in the great hall, the Master of Master Lingxiao Guan, who had initiated this meeting, was the first to speak:

"I support Fellow Daoist Cen Zhe's proposal to promote the Blessed Cultivator inheritance throughout the entire Di Li Xuan Realm."

It was not just the Master of Master Lingxiao Guan; other Mahayana Realm powerhouses in the great hall also began to speak one after another to support Cen Zhe's proposal.

"This seat also approves of Fellow Daoist Cen Zhe's proposal."

"As long as it is conducive to the development of the Di Li Xuan Realm, there is nothing that cannot be executed. It is indeed time for the Blessed Cultivator inheritance to be thoroughly promoted within the Di Li Xuan Realm."

"Since that is the case, then I, representing the Immortal Profound Sect, also pass this proposal from Fellow Daoist Cen Zhe."

"Good, I, the Haotian Mansion, also agree."

"Agreed."

As Mahayana Realm powerhouses, their wisdom was absolutely far beyond that of ordinary people.

In the face of major issues of right and wrong, especially on matters concerning the life and death of the Di Li Xuan Realm, they were willing to give up some of the interests of the forces they belonged to.

For a time, including the few Mahayana Realm powerhouses who had rejected Cen Zhe's proposal before, the representatives of the various forces in the great hall spoke up one after another to pass Cen Zhe's proposal to promote the Blessed Cultivator inheritance.

Seeing that his proposal to promote the Blessed Cultivator inheritance had been passed by everyone, Cen Zhe's heart stirred, and he struck while the iron was hot:

"Everyone, the Dao of Blessed Cultivation in our Di Li Xuan Realm has not been further perfected for many years."

"Since we are going to promote the Dao of Blessed Cultivation throughout the entire Di Li Xuan Realm, why not set up rewards to incentivize the cultivators of the entire Di Li Xuan Realm to try to perfect the Dao of Blessed Cultivation?"

"If it can be successful, it will have no small benefits for both the Di Li Xuan Realm and the forces that you fellow daoists belong to."

Even if the Blessed Cultivator inheritance were promoted to the entire Di Li Xuan Realm.

With the current defects of the Dao of Blessed Cultivation, it would be impossible for other forces to catch up with the various hegemon-level forces in the cultivation of Blessed Lands without several tens of thousands of years.

Therefore, even if the Dao of Blessed Cultivation were further perfected during the promotion process, the benefits reaped by the various hegemon-level forces would still be the greatest.

Therefore, regarding what Cen Zhe said, everyone did not have any interests to reject.

Even the Master of Master Lingxiao Guan agreed directly without much thought, asking:

"Agreed, but how should this reward be set up?"

Hearing the Master of Master Lingxiao Guan's inquiry, Cen Zhe already had a plan in his heart, and he smiled slightly:

"No upper limit; it will be based on the degree of perfection of the Dao of Blessed Cultivation and the benefits it can bring after perfection."

"However, if the reward fixed by the Alliance at that time cannot satisfy the person who perfected the Blessed Cultivator inheritance, this person has the right to refuse to hand over the perfected Blessed Cultivator inheritance."

"After all, as leaders of a side, we cannot force buy or sell from the younger generation, can we? I wonder what you fellow daoists think?"

Facing this proposal from Cen Zhe, the various Mahayana Realm powerhouses in the great hall only thought for a moment before agreeing to Cen Zhe's reward scheme.

"Hahaha, as long as there is a younger generation who truly has the ability to perfect the Dao of Blessed Cultivation, we naturally will not be stingy with the rewards."

"Indeed, let it be so!"

They were very clear about the difficulty of further perfecting the Dao of Blessed Cultivation; they did not even believe that anyone would perfect the Dao of Blessed Cultivation in the short term.

Therefore, they actually did not take the reward to heart.
