Chapter 270: Overseas Immortal Sect

A few days later, the grand competition of the immortal sects in the sea was held as scheduled.

Ye Tinglan took the phoenix carriage with Lu Xingzhou, Anuo, and her apprentice, followed by various flying magic treasures, and a large number of Heavenly Jade Holy Land people rushed to the sea.

The high-level officials of Heavenly Jade were a bit strange. In the past, at moments of collective travel like this, the Sect Master would generally summon high-level officials to discuss matters in her carriage, but this time she only brought those few, and it looked like a family of four at first glance.

But it was also bright and upright, right on the deck, not hiding in the cabin, and everyone couldn't see any problems.

In fact, there was really no trick. Ye Tinglan was explaining the situation of the grand competition in the sea to the "three disciples", including Dugu Qingli, who was also hearing this for the first time.

"In name, it is a competition to decide who is the king in the sea... Is this name a bit strange?" Ye Tinglan asked with a smile while making tea.

Lu Xingzhou said: "In the known territory, including the known immortal sects overseas, the Heavenly Jade Holy Land is the recognized strongest sect. Who dares to hold such a flag and say they want to decide who is the king? Isn't that clearly provoking the Heavenly Jade Holy Land?"

Ye Tinglan looked at her lover approvingly and glared at her apprentice.

Both are young people, look at how fast your uncle-master's brain moves, you only know how to be dazed.

Dugu Qingli didn't understand what Master's eyes meant at all, and continued to listen in a daze.

Ye Tinglan said: "A long time ago, when the Heavenly Jade Immortal Sect rose, there was naturally no reputation like the world's number one sect or holy land. Those were all accumulated by generations of predecessors, in the struggle of immortal paths, in the wind and rain of the world, and in various grand competitions, one victory after another. When you are indeed the world's number one, what will you do? Subdue them one by one, so that the world only has your voice?"

Dugu Qingli said: "Is it impossible?"

Ye Tinglan smiled and asked Lu Xingzhou: "The Tianxing Sword Sect is already the de facto number one in Xiazhou, why can't it subdue all Xiazhou sects under its rule?"

"There are too many constraints, and the backlash is also great, so it can't be done. The important thing is to maintain prestige and maintain deterrent power, then Xiazhou will naturally only have the voice of the Tianxing Sword Sect." Lu Xingzhou paused: "Although the Heavenly Jade Holy Land is not as afraid of this and that as the Tianxing Sword Sect, the constraints are obviously there. And in fact, the so-called world's number one cannot pull away the dimension difference from others, so it cannot achieve complete conquest and unification."

"Not bad... Although super-ranks crush first-ranks, there is a chance of overturning when facing a siege. So even if it is just a first-rank sect, if multiple unite, it may not be able to pose a threat to us. Moreover, no one knows whether their family hides super-ranks, so this cannot pull away the dimension difference. We cannot truly achieve crushing the world." Ye Tinglan said lightly: "So what we need to do is still the same as the Tianxing Sword Sect to Xiazhou, maintain prestige, and ensure deterrence."

Lu Xingzhou said: "And you are not a demonic path, you won't bully people for no reason to deter people's hearts, so maintaining this grand competition for ten thousand years is actually a demonstration of strength."

"Not bad. Every grand competition of this kind is a way for the Heavenly Jade Holy Land to show its fist. What we seek is not to win, but to show an oppressive force that is superior to others... For example, our contestants are younger than others, but stronger than others. Whether it is in the sea or the Great Qian, those who want to worship and seek the path, the holy land they yearn for most in their hearts will always be the Heavenly Jade Immortal Sect. This is it."

Hearing this, Lu Xingzhou and Dugu Qingli also knew what Ye Tinglan was expressing.

She was still a bit worried. This generation of Heavenly Jade disciples didn't seem to be very good, and they had fallen to the point of needing to pull Lu Xingzhou and Anuo to support the scene.

They have the world's best "students" and can choose the best talents to collect, but they still cannot guarantee that there will be geniuses in every generation. It seems a bit awkward. As the Sect Master, Ye Tinglan must bear a certain responsibility for this. After all, a lot of her energy is consumed in the game of the Great Qian and the confrontation with the demon race, and the cultivation of her own internal training has fallen behind.

Generally speaking, other sects will always have a left and right arm to specialize in this kind of thing. Maybe the expectation at the beginning was Yuan Muyu?

Yuan Muyu, not to mention anything else, has the ability to teach apprentices. In the case of not leaking the secret techniques of the Heavenly Jade Holy Land and only using some miscellaneous studies, the strength of Lu Xingzhou and Anuo has been cultivated quite well, and the strong collected by the Yama Hall have also been pointed out to go further. Just like Ji Wenchuan's first-rank path was completely promoted by Yuan Muyu, Ye Wufeng could become the first newcomer, relying on more than just his master Tan Xinhong.

Yuan Muyu's departure might also have affected some of the Heavenly Jade Holy Land's strategies... Maybe making Ye Wufeng the first newcomer was Yuan Muyu's way of challenging the Heavenly Jade Holy Land.

Ye Tinglan said: "Xingzhou has broadened my path, and I won't be limited too much by the Great Qian in the future... After some things are solved, I will focus more on internal cultivation in the future. That's a later story. In any case, in this grand competition, you must not only win, but win beautifully."

Lu Xingzhou pondered: "The pattern in the sea is different from the Great Qian... The only super-rank sect in the Great Qian is the Heavenly Jade Holy Land, plus the imperial family. The sea is unknown, are there any super-rank sects?"

Ye Tinglan answered simply: "Yes. However, the immortal sects in the sea mostly do not involve the world, which is different from us."

"Will there be any changes in this kind of grand competition?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well... visitors from the ancient world involve the sects of the present world, Gu Zhanting's desire to suppress the Heavenly Jade Holy Land. And Yuan Muyu's desire to slap the Heavenly Jade Holy Land in the face."

"The first two items have happened before... But it wasn't Gu Zhanting at that time, it was his ancestor." Ye Tinglan smiled: "The Great Qian imperial family has never been reconciled to the existence of the Heavenly Jade Holy Land, and it didn't start with Gu Zhanting. As for the last item, I don't know, maybe you know her better than I do?"

Lu Xingzhou absolutely cannot admit this: "Just saying... I don't know what Yuan Muyu is thinking."

Anuo was eating tea snacks, stole a look at him, and didn't speak.
