Chapter 580: The meeting concludes; the Di Xuan Realm is about to enter a new era

"Promoting the Blessed Cultivator legacy throughout the entire Di Xuan Realm? I fear that might be somewhat inappropriate, no?"

"The path of the Blessed Cultivator is not yet perfected. This seat feels it is temporarily unsuitable to promote the Blessed Cultivator legacy across the entire Di Xuan Realm."

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

No sooner had Cen Zhe proposed his suggestion than it was immediately met with rejection by a portion of the Mahayana Realm powerhouses.

However, within the great hall, a small minority 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 legacy to the entire Di Xuan Realm would allow all small-scale factions within the Di 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 room, observing the Mahayana Realm powerhouses who rejected his proposal and those who supported it; he understood the situation clearly in his heart.

Those Mahayana Realm powerhouses who rejected his proposal all hailed from the various hegemon-level factions within the Di Xuan Realm, and they themselves already controlled the Blessed Cultivator legacy.

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

Beyond this, within the great hall...

More Mahayana Realm powerhouses belonging to the three different camps, upon hearing Cen Zhe's proposal, did not immediately refute or support it, but instead fell into deep thought, beginning to weigh the pros and cons of promoting the Blessed Cultivator legacy throughout the entire Di 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 leader of a hegemon-level faction himself, he naturally understood the reasons why these hegemon-level powerhouses rejected his proposal.

The existence of the Blessed Cultivator legacy allowed the various hegemon-level factions to produce large quantities of mid- and low-order spiritual herbs simply within their own territories, and it could also accelerate the growth rate of the mid- and low-order spiritual veins within their faction's territory.

Especially in cases where a Dongxuan Fudi had an owner, with the Dongxuan Fudi Master controlling everything, there was a high probability of cultivating some very special spiritual herbs that were relatively rare in the outside world.

With a surplus of mid- and low-order resources...

Every hegemon-level faction would, from time to time, release a portion of their resources to sell and supply the small-scale factions affiliated under them, which included these special spiritual herbs that were very rare in the outside world.

These special spiritual herbs could be used to create various high-quality medicinal baths or elixirs.

To a certain extent, a small part of the reason why a large number of small-scale factions voluntarily attached themselves to the various hegemon-level factions was precisely because of this.

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

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

However, this was a secondary concern.

The Cultivation World ultimately respects strength; the fact that various large and small factions achieve self-sufficiency in low-order resources would not affect the status of the hegemon-level factions.

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

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

This was no alarmist talk.

Take the Profound Yi Tianzong, for example; the many small affiliated factions under the Profound Yi Tianzong, such as the Ye family from which Ye Qingxuan hailed.

Why did the Ye family send disciples with good talent in the family to the Profound Yi Tianzong? It was precisely 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 realized, the Ye family had no choice but to send them into the Profound Yi Tianzong to cultivate.

At first, the Ye family sent clansmen with five-element spiritual root talent to the Profound Yi Tianzong, letting the clansmen join the Profound Yi Tianzong completely.

Later, the Ye family received resource feedback from 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 Yi Tianzong to cultivate.

It was not just the Profound Yi Tianzong; the landscape within the territories of the various hegemon-level factions in the Di Xuan Realm was mostly the same.

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

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

But if the Blessed Cultivator legacy were promoted to the entire Di Xuan Realm, and after the Blessed Cultivator legacy was passed down for several dozen generations in the Di Xuan Realm, mid-order Blessed Lands would gradually be born.

Once mid-order Blessed Lands appeared, the small-scale factions affiliated under them would achieve self-sufficiency in mid-order resources.

These small-scale factions would certainly not leave their affiliation because of this, but they would no longer easily send the disciples with good talent in their clan or sect into the hegemon-level factions they belonged to for cultivation as they had before.

It was not just these small-scale factions affiliated under them.

Even the scattered loose cultivator groups originally found everywhere in the Di Xuan Realm would recruit a large number of disciples due to the sufficiency of resources, gradually transforming into various factions.

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

However, it was foreseeable that once the Blessed Cultivator legacy was promoted throughout the entire Di Xuan Realm, the quality of the mid- and low-level disciples recruited by the various hegemon-level factions in the future would definitely be hit significantly.

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

If a person with five- or six-element spiritual root talent was born among the commoners living under the various factions, and these factions, in a situation of sufficient resources, did not let them go and wanted to take them into their own sect for cultivation...

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

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

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

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

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

If not for this reason, how could the Blessed Cultivator legacy have been firmly locked down by the various hegemon-level factions for so many years, circulating only among the various hegemon-level factions? 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 speak much about the drawbacks of promoting the Blessed Cultivator path throughout the entire Di Xuan Realm."

"I will just speak about the two major benefits of promoting the Blessed Cultivator path on a large scale for the current situation of the Di Xuan Realm!"

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

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

"I believe you all have some understanding of the current situation in the Di Xuan Realm, right?"

"Since the appearance of the two-world wormhole passage, a large number of the Green Demon race have invaded our Di Xuan Realm, destroying a large number of mid- and low-order spiritual lands in the Di Xuan Realm in just a few hundred years."

"After a large number of mid- and low-order spiritual lands were destroyed, the consequence is that the mid- and low-order spiritual herbs within most of the mid- and small-scale factions in our Di Xuan Realm are now in short supply, and the gap is very large." "In the provinces within the territories of you fellow daoists, because of the protection of the factions where you fellow daoists are located, this situation is not yet obvious."

"But in the provinces outside the territories of you fellow daoists, there are already many mid- and small-scale factions that have generated endless strife due to resource issues."

"Especially those juniors who have just stepped onto the path of cultivation; their cultivation is low and weak, and they are not yet able to enter the Green Demon Realm to plunder resources to aid their own cultivation, so they can only rely on the mid- and low-order resources within the Di Xuan Realm for cultivation in the early stages."

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

"Not to mention that the lack of resources will lead to a slowdown in the cultivation speed of the new generation of cultivators."

"If we let their strife take its course and let these junior cultivators suffer large-scale casualties again in the struggle for resources among the various factions..."

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

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

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

"This is just one."

"Second, since our Di Xuan Realm suffered the invasion of the Green Demon Realm, the high-order spiritual veins have been guarded by large-scale factions and have not been plundered by the Green Demon race in large numbers."

"However, nearly thirty percent of the large number of mid- and low-order spiritual veins in the Di Xuan Realm have been plundered by the Green Demon race in just a few hundred years."

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

"The Blessed Cultivator path can allow Blessed Cultivators to contract spiritual veins and transform the spiritual land where the spiritual vein is located into a Dongxuan Fudi, forming a space of its own."

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

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

"Therefore, promoting the Blessed Cultivator path throughout the entire Di Xuan Realm can not only reduce the probability of low-order spiritual veins being destroyed and plundered by the Green Demon race, but also accelerate the growth speed of spiritual veins and accelerate the progress of the Di Xuan Realm's upgrade to a Great Thousand Realm."

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

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

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

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

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

After finishing, Cen Zhe swept his gaze around indifferently and said no more.

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

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

It was not just Lingxiao Guanzhu; 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 Xuan Realm, there is nothing that cannot be executed; it is indeed time for the Blessed Cultivator legacy to be thoroughly promoted within the Di Xuan Realm."

"Since that is the case, I, on behalf of the Xianxuan Sect, also pass this proposal of Fellow Daoist Cen Zhe."

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

"Agreed."

As Mahayana Realm powerhouses, their wisdom was absolutely far superior to ordinary people.

In the face of major right and wrong, especially on matters concerning the life and death of the Di Xuan Realm, they were willing to give up some of the interests of their own factions.

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

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

"Fellow daoists, our Di Xuan Realm's Blessed Cultivator path has not been further perfected for many years."

"Since we are going to promote the Blessed Cultivator path throughout the entire Di Xuan Realm, why not set up rewards to encourage cultivators throughout the entire Di Xuan Realm to try and perfect the Blessed Cultivator path?"

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

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

With the current flaws of the Blessed Cultivator path, it would be impossible for other factions to catch up with the various hegemon-level factions in the cultivation of Blessed Lands without tens of thousands of years.

Therefore, even if the Blessed Cultivator path were further perfected during the promotion process, the benefits reaped by the various hegemon-level factions would still be the greatest.

So, regarding what Cen Zhe said, the crowd had no interests to reject.

Even Lingxiao Guanzhu agreed without a second thought and asked:

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

Hearing Lingxiao Guanzhu's inquiry, Cen Zhe already had a plan in mind and smiled slightly:

"No cap, based on the degree of perfection of the Blessed Cultivator path and the benefits that can be brought after perfection."

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

"After all, as leaders of a side, we cannot force buy and sell from juniors, right? 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.

"Hehehe, as long as a junior really has the ability to perfect the Blessed Cultivator path, we will naturally not be stingy with the reward."

"Indeed, let it be so!"

They were very clear about the difficulty of further perfecting the Blessed Cultivator path, and they didn't even think that anyone would perfect the Blessed Cultivator path in the short term.

So, they didn't actually take the reward to heart.
