A competition brings many changes to Dali.
Not only the economic effect, but also more incentive effects, making many practitioners work harder.
At the same time, many of Dali's internal conflicts were transferred to the competition.
For example, the contradiction between cultivating families and loose cultivators. Although the cultivating families dare not wantonly suppress casual cultivators due to the face of the government on the surface, there are still many cultivating families secretly suppressing casual cultivators for their own status.
At the beginning, in the prosperous period, in order to avoid someone breaking through, these cultivating families even did things to destroy their families, but now they only suppress casual cultivators, which is considered to be a lot restrained.
The opening of the cultivator competition has changed the attitude of many cultivators. Not only do they no longer suppress casual practitioners, but they are very enthusiastic about attracting talented casual practitioners.
The intention is for Sanxiu to join their family, so that they can bring glory to the family in the arena.
There are even some cultivating families who do not hesitate to let their daughters marry off.
Especially those who were on the list, caused many cultivating families to compete and make a lot of jokes.
……
in the palace.
Zheng Ming sat in his study, looking at the three lists of gold, silver and bronze in this competition.
What he cares about is not just the first and second, but the information brought by the list.
For example, there are a total of 300 people on the three lists, of which only [-]% are casual cultivators from the private sector, and the rest are either children of cultivating families or from famous families.
And the most exaggerated Tian Yuzong actually accounted for [-]%, such a situation was expected, but it did not conform to Zheng Ming's idea.
There are many disciples of Tianyuzong, with profound background, it is not a surprise that one family can dominate the arena.
It's just not a good thing for Dali as a whole.
What Zheng Ming wants is for a hundred schools of thought to spread out, not for one family to dominate.
At the same time, he also hopes that non-governmental casual cultivators can occupy more seats, instead of only occupying [-]%.
Of course, he will not suppress the Tian Yuzong and the cultivating family because of this, but he will increase his support for folk casual cultivators.
In addition to these, there is also the unfairness between the monster race and the human race.
Although he and Chaotang have tried their best to ensure the fairness between the monster race and the human race, there are still many situations that are unfavorable to the monster race in this competition.
The first is the age limit.
The age restrictions in the primary and intermediate divisions are very unfavorable to Yaozu.
The monster race has a longer lifespan than the human race. Even in the same realm, the monster race has a lifespan [-]% longer than the human race, and even some individual races have several times the life span of the human race in the same realm.
But on the contrary, their cultivation speed is not as good as that of the human race.
The Tianjiao in the human race can reach the level of a grand master before the age of 20, but the monster race can only have the cultivation level of a grand master after they reach adulthood, and it takes 100 years for them to become adults.
Therefore, there are no Yaozu figures in the junior and intermediate arenas.
Only in the high-level arena did there appear a small number of Krakens, but the results were not very good.
After Zheng Ming read the three lists, he said to Xiao Fuzi: "Tell the cabinet that from now on, the monster race and the human race will no longer participate in the competition together, and a separate competition will be established for the monster race."
It is really inappropriate to put the human race and the monster race together. He didn't consider this before, and now that he has discovered it, he must change it.
Xiao Fuzi quickly responded, "Here."
"Also, let the cabinet set up a special management department for the competition. Forget it, let the hall of worship be responsible for this. From now on, the hall of worship will be responsible for all the cultivators' competitions, including the trials, preliminaries, and preliminary competitions in various places. The temple is unified and coordinated. The local government offices supervise."
Although the competition went smoothly on the whole, there were also a lot of shitty things in it.
For example, collusion between officials and businessmen, stumbling and insidious tricks by the cultivating family, and so on.
Although the court has dealt with it strictly, in order to prevent such a situation from happening again in the future, Zheng Ming decided that it is better to separate the rights of the competition.
The Hall of Enshrinement is in charge of hosting, the Cabinet Office is in charge of supervision, and the Governor's Office is in charge of security matters. Coupled with the secret monitoring by the Jin Yiwei, it should be possible to avoid many unfair things from happening.
In the future, the cultivator competition will be held for a long time, and it cannot be done without a fair system and environment.
If, like some stinky teams, they don't do business all day long and only think about making money, it will not only affect a game, but the trust of all the people in the entire dynasty in the competition. ,
……
During Dali's first cultivator competition, a major event happened in Tianmu City.
A major event that can affect the entire Northwest Territory pattern.
When Zheng Ming received the news, he was completely taken aback!
"how is this possible?"
Chapter 5 City Lord Xu, do it for yourself
Tianmu City, as the most powerful and prosperous force in the Northwest Territory, has always been a gathering place for the powerful in the Northwest Territory.
According to rumors, there are 800 million residents in Tianmu City, most of whom are cultivators above Grand Masters. Those forces from the Middle Heaven Realm, if those forces are added, a Tianmu City has nearly forty Immortal Realm Venerables.
It can be said that the number of human Xiantai realm venerables in Tianmu City is close to half of the entire Northwest Territory.
It is precisely because of this that Tianmu City has the strength to overwhelm a region.
But the interior of Tianmu City is not monolithic, and it can even be said that the situation is extremely complicated.
The struggle for interests has always been a theme among practitioners.
The conflict of interests within Tianmu City was also full of blood. .
In particular, the struggle between the local strongmen in the Northwest Territory and the great powers from the Central Sky Territory has never subsided.
No one wants to let other people shit and pee on their head.
Especially the venerables of the Xiantai Realm, they are also unwilling to accept the hegemony of those big forces from the Central Heaven Territory.
Therefore, 3000 years ago, a powerful organization appeared in Tianmu City, called the Tongdao League.
The purpose of Tongdao League on the surface is to gather like-minded people, practice the law of the heavenly way, and go on the way to heaven together, so as to achieve the ultimate road to immortality.
But in fact, the Tongdao League is an alliance established by a group of local strongmen in the Northwest Territory to fight against the forces in the Central Sky Territory.
The Tongdao League is headed by Xu Qingyang, the lord of Tianmu City, and there are fourteen venerables in the Xiantai Realm, all of whom have cultivation bases between the first and sixth floors. strong.
Of course, this is without counting those strong men from Zhongtianyu, nor is Wen Zhong counted.
Xu Qingyang has been in charge of Tianmu City for thousands of years. Although he cannot completely control the entire Tianmu City, he still controls the 30 city guards in Tianmu City.
Regardless of the fact that the city guards in Tianmu City are only 30, the strength of these 30 city guards is actually very strong, far from being comparable to the army of the general dynasty.
In addition, there are many masters in Tianmu City who are convinced by Xu Qingyang and are willing to obey his orders.
It can be said that in Tianmu City, Xu Qingyang is the most powerful person.
But such a person actually wants to listen to the forces from Zhongtianyu, how can he be willing?
On this day, Tianmu City was filled with a prosperous and peaceful atmosphere as usual.
The huge city was full of people, and practitioners from all over the Northwest Territory experienced the prosperity and strength of Tianmu City.
However, in the center of Tianmu City, a major event that affected the structure of the entire Northwest Territory took place in the majestic and magnificent City Lord's Mansion.
In the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion.
Several dignified venerables gathered together.
Xu Qingyang sat high above the main seat, wearing an indigo gown, his thin face was not angry but mighty, and his long and narrow eyes released a sharp edge.
There are three old men in different dresses in the hall. The first one is Fei Qinyuan, the owner of the Tianyun Pavilion in the Northwest Territory. He is wearing a gray-white Taoist robe and a hair crown. His long snow-white hair is tied behind his head and his face is full of frowns. full of indifference.
The second is Meng Yuwei, the Dharma protector of the Sacred Cult of Good Fortune, a woman who looks full of mature charm, wearing a gorgeous gauze skirt, showing her exquisite and attractive figure, her face is like a girl's, and her bright eyes are like a pool of autumn water , making people immersed in it unconsciously.
The last one is the person who mediates the Immortal Sect, a mysterious man covered from head to toe in a black cloak, except for a pair of gray-white eyes, he does not leak the slightest breath.
The three of them are the representatives of the three major forces in the Zhongtian Territory, and they are also key figures who influence the entire Northwest Territory pattern.
It's just that the atmosphere in the lobby seems to be a bit uncomfortable at this time.
The four of them were filled with a calm atmosphere, and the strong sense of oppression made it difficult to breathe.
Xu Qingyang released a dignified aura, like a torrent rushing towards his face.
Fei Qinyuan's vicissitudes of eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, "Does City Master Xu mean that he is unwilling to stop the struggle between the Tongxian Dynasty and the Tongxian Seven Sects?"
He was questioning Xu Qingyang.
The Tongxian Dynasty and the Seven Tongxian Sects are located in the north and west of Tianmu City. The spheres of influence of both sides are adjacent to Tianmu City. Because of the struggle between these two forces, the prosperity of Tianmu City has been reduced by a few points.
One hair will affect the whole body, a war between one dynasty and seven sects will have a great impact on other surrounding forces.
What's more, Tianmu City is an independent city that focuses on commerce.
The war will make it impossible for many merchant caravans to reach Tianmu City, making the commercial environment of Tianmu City extremely poor.
Today, Fei Qinyuan and the others came here to stop the struggle between the Tongxian Dynasty and the Tongxian Seven Sects.
Xu Qingyang was silent for a while, and said: "This city lord has already said that the Tongxian Dynasty and the Tongxian Seven Sects have rejected our reconciliation. It's not that we don't want to, but that we are powerless."
"Hehehe~ City Lord Xu is really interesting. Do the Tongxian Dynasty and the Seven Sects of Tongxian have the right to reject City Lord Xu?" Meng Yuwei smiled coquettishly.
Indeed, Tongxian Dynasty and Tongxian Seven Sects are not small forces, but compared with Tianmu City, they are still far behind.
Both Fei Qinyuan and Meng Yuwei knew very well that it wasn't that they rejected Xu Qingyang, but that Xu Qingyang had no intention of reconciliation at all.
"City Master Xu, we have recently received a batch of spiritual materials from the demon region. If we delay this batch of spiritual materials, the Pope will be very dissatisfied." The black-robed man who mediates the Immortal Sect said in a hoarse voice.
Xu Qingyang's eyes shone brightly, and he said, "This city lord really has no choice."
Spiritual material!
Hehe, the Mediation Immortal Sect cares not about spiritual materials, but about business routes.
Don't think that these forces from the Zhongtian Territory came to the Northwest Territory for world peace. They don't have any interests, so they won't meddle in their own business.
The reason why Xu Qingyang and others formed the Tongdao League was because they had seen through their methods.
In fact, their method is also very simple, which is to use the trade balance to seize the resources of the Northwest Territory.
Zhongtianyu is far more powerful and prosperous than the other eight domains, why?
It's not because of the geographical environment, nor because of the inheritance of cultivation, but because the Zhongtian domain has been seizing resources from the other eight domains.
Acquire precious spiritual materials through the trade balance, and then use these spiritual materials to further enhance the strength of Zhongtianyu and the level of various cultivation industries.
Xu Qingyang once calculated that the Four Pavilions and the Two Sects can obtain hundreds of millions of spiritual stones from the Northwest Territory every year, and they are all relatively precious resources. They are not rare at all for ordinary and low-level spiritual materials.
But on the bright side, they seem to have always maintained an appearance of indifference to the world, not conflicting with any power, and they are completely good-natured.
But all the evil deeds were done in the name of Tianmu City.
To put it simply, they want to be whores, set up archways, and push Tianmu City to the public to take the blame.
Although many smart people can see it, most practitioners have a good impression of them, and even yearn for them and Zhongtianyu.
What they plundered in the Northwest Territory was not only resources, but also talents.
Why is there no cultivator above the seventh level of the Immortal Terrace in the Northwest Territory? Is it because the cultivators in the Northwest Territory have poor aptitude?
No, it was because of the lack of high-level resources, and because those cultivators who could have potential were recruited to Zhongtianyu by the Four Pavilions and the Two Teachings.
This is why the Northwest Territory is far inferior to the Central Sky Territory.
If Xu Qingyang wanted to change this situation, he had to drive them all out of the Northwest Region.
The battle between the Tongxian Dynasty and the Seven Tongxian Sects was not the key point, but it was the trigger for Xu Qingyang to implement his plan.
Fei Qinyuan raised his head slightly, and said slowly: "It seems that City Lord Xu does not intend to continue to cooperate."
Xu Qingyang stared at him, and said: "After all, you are from the Zhongtian Territory, it's better not to interfere in the affairs of the Northwest Territory."
"Hehe~~" Fei Qinyuan chuckled lightly.
Meng Yuwei next to her was also full of smiles.
Even the man in black sneered coldly.
They seem to have heard a big joke.
Don't let them meddle in the affairs of the Northwest Region?Isn't this a joke?
"Master Xu, do it for yourself!" Fei Qinyuan stood up, left a word, and turned to leave.
Since then.
