Chapter 142
"Boy, when you founded the Taixu Sect, you must have wanted to recruit more disciples, develop the sect, conquer the scattered cultivators in the world of immortality, unify all the sects, and finally fight against the catastrophe together, right?" Big Cat asked.
Chen Chunan was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He had indeed had this idea before.
When he knew that the catastrophe was coming, he also discussed countermeasures with Zhong Xiaotian and Liu Yunxi.
Recruiting disciples and developing the sect is the foundation. Only when the Taixu Sect develops and grows can it have the right to speak in the world of immortality.
Conquering the loose cultivators in the world of immortality is a necessary means for Taixu Sect to develop and grow.
Since the spiritual energy dried up a thousand years ago, cultivating immortals has become more and more difficult, and the competition among the major cultivating sects has become increasingly fierce.
In order to prevent the sect's inheritance from being cut off, all the major cultivating sects are downsizing their personnel and reducing their expenses.
Recruiting disciples is no longer the primary goal of the development of various sects.
Today, when there is a shortage of spiritual energy, spiritual stones, and spiritual grass, spiritual trees, and spiritual beasts are gradually disappearing, only by focusing limited cultivation resources on promising disciples can we hope to continue to pass on the sect's orthodoxy.
As for disciples with insufficient qualifications, they can only be kicked out and become casual cultivators. If they are lucky, they can continue to practice even if they become casual cultivators; if they are unlucky, they can only become bandits and make a living by robbing families and homes.
There are so many casual cultivators that it is difficult for the Immortal Alliance to manage them. Many mortals who have nothing to do with cultivating immortals have become ruined because of this. They live in dire straits every day and complain endlessly.
Qingshui Village is located in the most remote and desolate place in Xiaqing County. There is no human habitation within a few hundred miles, so the harm caused by casual cultivators is almost invisible.
But if it is the most prosperous Shangqing County in Shengzhou in the Central Region, due to the large number of sects, the number of immortal cultivators who have become casual cultivators from sect disciples is also the largest.
Even if Shangqing County is the location of the headquarters of the Immortal Alliance, it cannot control such a large number of casual cultivators. Even if experts are sent to attack them, they are like weeds in spring, which cannot be burned by wildfire and will grow back when the spring breeze blows.<
/p>
As time went by, the Immortal Alliance no longer took care of it.
As for the major cultivating sects, they all turned a blind eye and pretended not to know about the rogue cultivators. As long as the rogue cultivators did not plunder their territory, they would be happy and at ease.
That's why Chen Chunan considered recruiting a group of casual cultivators into Taixu Sect to become Taixu Sect's combat force.
If he can't compare with quality, he can only compare with quantity.
Although most casual cultivators lack qualifications and are difficult to control, at this critical moment, one can only treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor.
You have to create conditions even if you don’t have the conditions. Otherwise, when the catastrophe comes, are you really prepared to sit back and wait for death?
What's more, it's not that there is no gold in casual cultivators. Among the huge number of casual cultivators, there will always be one or two cultivation geniuses whose talents have been buried.
As for whether they can dig it out, it depends on Chen Chunan's ability.
After conquering many loose cultivators, Taixu Sect has been able to develop smoothly. At this time, it is time to consider annexing other sects to continue to develop and grow Taixu Sect.
When Taixu Sect becomes the top three or even the first sect in Shengzhou in the Central Region, it is time to consider unifying all the sects in Shengzhou in the Central Region to cope with the upcoming catastrophe.
Of course, if Taixu Sect can become a supreme sect like Hunyuan Sect, with hundreds of millions of disciples, and all sects are affiliated with it, then it will naturally be the best.
But if you can't do it, it doesn't matter. You just need to create a situation in which all immortal cultivators respond to the catastrophe in unison, so that there is hope of surviving the catastrophe.
Chen Chunan also considered using the slogan "Everyone can ascend" like the Hunyuan Sect to attract many casual cultivators to join.
After all, who doesn’t know how to write a bad check? Anyway, let’s draw a big pie to attract people in, and we’ll talk about other things after the catastrophe is over.
But Da Mao said that all his preparations were in vain, because the Hunyuan Sect tried the same thing a hundred thousand years ago.
How is this possible...
Is this really not possible?
Chen Chunan hesitated because Big Mao's tone seemed serious.
"Big Cat... What is it about the founder of Hunyuan Sect who is also an envoy sent by Tiandao? Please explain it clearly!" Chen Chunan couldn't help but start to waver in his heart. Are all his preparations really in vain?
Even if the entire world of immortality joins forces, can't they prevent the catastrophe?
Can they just sit and wait to die like ants?
One hundred thousand years ago, the ten Immortal Emperors of the Hunyuan Sect could not stop the catastrophe for even a moment.
Nowadays, there are only five Immortal Emperors in the world of cultivating immortals, and all of them are missing.
What if Chen Chunan guesses that the disappearance of the five Immortal Emperors is related to the great catastrophe? Who can guarantee that the preparations made by the five Immortal Emperors are not in vain like him?
If it is true, as Da Mao said, that he is just following the path taken by the Hunyuan Sect, it means that the countermeasures he came up with before cannot prevent the catastrophe, and now he should stop his losses in time and find another way out.
So now he urgently needs Big Cat's answer.
The big cat sighed softly when he heard this and said:
"Boy, you should have noticed...the identities of the ten Immortal Emperors of the Hunyuan Sect that I mentioned before."
"Difficult, could it be said...that they are all..." Chen Chunan opened his eyes wide, with a look of disbelief on his face.
"Yes." Da Mao nodded, "The true identities of the ten Immortal Emperors of the Hunyuan Sect are the envoys sent by Tiandao. They rose from the bottom of society, achieved the position of Immortal Emperor in a very short period of time, and founded the Hunyuan Sect.
He annexed one sect after another, conquered countless immortal cultivators, and finally achieved the status of the Hunyuan Sect as the supreme sect."
"..."
Even after hearing the explanation given by Big Mao, Chen Chunan still couldn't believe it.
Because all this sounds too fantasy to him, even though he himself is in a very fantasy world of cultivating immortals, and has witnessed with his own eyes the immortal methods of flying into the sky, escaping from the earth, and retrieving objects from the air.
Ignoring Chen Chunan's reaction, Da Mao continued talking on his own.
"According to the rumors passed down by the Mei Civet Cat clan, one hundred thousand years ago was the most prosperous period in the world of immortality. At that time, everyone in the world of immortality could practice cultivation, and there was no so-called distinction between immortals and mortals. The spiritual energy was rich, and spiritual beasts were everywhere.
, there are spiritual mountains and spiritual places everywhere, and any weeds pulled up on the roadside are spiritual herbs or elixirs. Cultivation is far from as difficult as it is now."
"..."
"As for ascension, it's not like it's just a legend now. I've heard that no one in the world of immortality has successfully achieved enlightenment and ascended for a whole thousand years, right?"
"Hmm..." Chen Chunan hesitated for a while, then nodded.
Although he is not very clear about the details, since entering the Age of Ending Dharma, no one in the world of immortality has ascended.
‘Immortal Lord’, also known as the perfection of Tianshu realm, is the end of cultivation for immortal cultivators.
The reason is that after the five immortal emperors disappeared, the ascension passage in the world of immortality was closed, and everyone was trapped in the world of immortality. Naturally, they were unable to achieve enlightenment and ascension.
Even if the Ascension Thunder Tribulation arrives successfully, there will be no other reaction other than being struck by lightning a few times.
