Chapter 748

"Forget it, Ganyu, you go take a look later and remind them by the way."

"Although special constitutions have a high starting point on the path of immortal cultivation, but... blindly chasing talent is falling into a lower path."

"Talent determines the lower limit, and effort determines the upper limit."

"Don't be too persistent; if a heart demon is produced, that would be terrible."

Ganyu nodded heavily, and the three of them watched the Shushan City below quietly for a while.

After a while, the three of them rode the clouds back to Tongtian Peak.

Not long after, a bell chime that shook the entire world rang out.

At the same time, no matter who it was or what they were doing, they all looked up at the towering Tongtian Peak.

"The auspicious time has arrived; the second Shushan disciple-recruitment ceremony officially begins!"

549. Shushan Intends to Create an Immortal Sect Alliance

What kind of scene is it when tens of millions of people gather under Shushan? Zhongli and the others now have the most say.

Standing in the void, looking at the dense crowd below, each one looking up at them with longing eyes.

This feeling really has a bit of a thrill.

However...

After pondering for a moment, Zhongli sighed softly and said helplessly:

"Tens of millions of people; I don't know how many will join Shushan this time."

"But no matter how many, among these people, there might be 90% who can only return in disappointment."

Ei on the side was indifferent.

"This is the rule of the cultivation world itself; there is no need to sympathize with them. Before coming, they should have been mentally prepared."

Zhongli shook his head and said no more.

"I heard that after this disciple-recruitment ceremony ends, the Sect Master will spread the basic immortal cultivation Qi-guiding method."

"At that time, perhaps the Shushan world will have many emerging sects."

Venti said with a smile and looked at Zhongli:

"Old man, do you think it's possible for people from Liyue who came to the Shushan world to create slightly stronger techniques based on the immortal cultivation Qi-guiding method and establish a sect?"

"The Sect Master called you over for a meeting the day before yesterday; he should have told you about these things, right?"

Zhongli nodded slightly, not intending to hide it from them.

After a pause, he said softly:

"After this disciple-recruitment ceremony ends, Shushan will not lack disciples in the short term; perhaps the next disciple-recruitment ceremony will have to wait fifty years."

"But it is not enough for people from the Teyvat nations and the Honkai world to ascend to the Shushan world and only practice martial arts."

"So, the Sect Master will let the Heavenly Dao take action to screen a batch of geniuses, help them comprehend the Dao, and create new immortal cultivation techniques."

Hearing Zhongli say this, everyone was suddenly curious.

Doing this, no matter how you look at it, seems like a big move is coming.

"What is the specific meaning?"

Ei looked at Zhongli curiously, and the latter said softly:

"The Sect Master said that in the future, the Shushan disciple-recruitment ceremony will most likely be fixed at once every fifty or even one hundred years."

"The standards for recruiting disciples will also gradually rise, so while the gold content of Shushan disciples rises, there will also be a large number of people waiting for a hundred years unable to join Shushan."

"But these people are not without spiritual roots; rather than wasting time here, it is better to seek another way out."

"Afterwards, the major spirit races will form a Spirit Race Alliance, whose main task is to find more new worlds for the Shushan world."

"And for those who come to the Shushan world, if they have excellent talent but missed the opportunity to join Shushan, then, according to the immortal cultivation Qi-guiding method passed down by the Sect Master."

"Under the care of the Heavenly Dao, they can create higher-level techniques."

"Afterwards, they can create immortal cultivation sects."

Venti and the others' eyes flashed, seemingly understanding something.

Zhongli paused and continued:

"The Sect Master wants me to take the lead in the name of Shushan and establish an Immortal Sect Alliance."

"The alliance will govern all immortal cultivation sects and conduct regular assessments, comprehensively considering from many angles such as disciples, cultivation level, sect station, and prosperity."

"Ranked from ninth grade to first grade; above the first grade is the immortal cultivation holy land second only to Shushan."

"These sects will receive corresponding care from the Immortal Sect Alliance according to their grades."

"Besides this, there is also a system for Shushan disciples."

"Any Shushan disciple who has sufficient cultivation and intends to be promoted to Shushan management, such as Dharma Protector, Deacon, or Elder."

"Needs to go outside Shushan, choose a region, create a sect, and obtain an assessment rating."

"When outer sect disciples want to become outer sect Dharma Protectors, outer sect Deacons, or outer sect Elders."

"Not only must their strength be at least at the peak of Refining Essence into Qi."

"Correspondingly, they must also go out to create a sect and become a ninth to sixth-grade sect that has passed the Immortal Sect Alliance assessment."

"At the same time, when inner sect disciples want to become inner sect Dharma Protectors, Deacons, or Elders, their strength must be at least at the peak of Refining Qi into Spirit."

"The sect created must also have a minimum rating of sixth grade; to become an inner sect Elder, one must create a first-grade sect."

"The Sect Master's meaning is to combine the entire Shushan promotion mechanism with the immortal cultivation civilization of the entire Shushan world."

Hearing this, the Tsaritsa and the others were a bit overwhelmed.

In terms of peak Refining Qi into Spirit cultivation, they are not that yet.

But at least they are in the late stage of Refining Qi into Spirit.

Immediately, the Tsaritsa said nervously:

"First Seat Zhongli, when will this policy start to be implemented? We..."

Zhongli looked at her and said calmly:

"Don't worry, it has nothing to do with you; this policy will only start after the disciple-recruitment ceremony."

"However, it won't be that strict in the short term."

"After all, Shushan's foundation is not what it used to be."

"Wanting to become a peak Refining Qi into Spirit expert is not that easy."

"The Sect Master's meaning is that after a while, when Shushan is officially on the right track and the Spirit Race brings back a large number of worlds."

"After the population of the Shushan world rises."

"Then this matter will begin."

"As for now, not to mention that most Shushan disciples are not interested in going out to create sects, those who meet the cultivation standards are also pitifully few."

"In the final analysis, the Immortal Sect Alliance is just an encouragement for those who didn't join Shushan but have some talent, and also gives them more choices so they don't have to waste their lives."

550. Baizhu: Compared to the Spirit Race, Humans are Truly Fragile

Hearing that this matter had little to do with them, the Tsaritsa and the others felt relieved.

However, they were still thinking about working hard to cultivate in their hearts.

After all,

As an inner sect Elder of Shushan, their cultivation is not much higher than that of core disciples.

Saying this out loud is somewhat embarrassing.

And if one wants to talk about a way to improve strength in a short time...

The Demon-Locking Tower!

The Tsaritsa and the others thought of the Demon-Locking Tower tacitly.

Although that place is very dangerous, but...

Zhongli did break through to the peak of Refining Qi into Spirit there after all.

As long as they don't go to too high a level, nothing will happen.

Better safe than sorry.

Zhongli also saw that they had the intention to work hard on cultivation, nodded slightly in his heart, and said softly:

"The auspicious time has arrived; everyone, please help me open the array and officially hold the assessment."

"Yes!"

Many Elders and First Seats sat in the void, and gorgeous streams of light emerged from under them.
