Chapter 1369: In an Era of Great Strife, Geniuses Emerge
Dan Shanzi, a Daluo celestial being, lived in Chenxu Domain and achieved enlightenment before the Ten Tribulations. Everyone could betray, but this person's betrayal seemed so incredible.
Why was Dan Shanzi's betrayal incredible? The reason was simple. He was able to stand out in the Holy Spirit Sect and enter the Chenxu Domain, and his aptitude was not the most important factor.
Let me emphasize again that Dan Shanzi's aptitude was an important factor in his becoming a Daluo, but it was not the most important factor!
As a top sect, the Holy Spirit Sect has a large number of Taiyi immortals, and many of them are qualified to go further. After the balance of power within the sect and the competition among various factions, Dan Shanzi finally became the promoted one.
Of course, the rumor that Dan Shanzi's aptitude was superior to his peers and his magic power was unparalleled. You can't tell the lower-level disciples that Dan Shanzi was recommended by others.
It's like we promote struggle and instill the idea that "as long as you struggle, you will succeed", but the result is that the more you struggle, the more frequently the boss goes to the club.
We praise the new emperor, saying how he loves the people like his own children, how he is benevolent, and so on... It is impossible to tell you that the emperor emerged under internal and external struggles! In history, the battle for the throne among the nine dragons was a common occurrence.
Many so-called positive energy things are actually not as good as chicken soup, or in other words, they are variations of chicken soup.
Why is Wu Yi an outlier? It is because Wu Yi did not take this path. By chance, calculations from all sides, restraints from all sides, and a little luck of his own, Wu Yi, who was not suitable in all aspects, finally mastered Xuanchen Domain, which is even more unimaginable.
However, Wu Yi's experience cannot be copied, and no one can copy it. The copy must die.
Dan Shanzi was able to enter the Chenxu Domain. Logically speaking, there was no problem with his loyalty, and there could be no problem. Before Liu Mangzi made his decision, he must have read Dan Shanzi's previous life experience, or even several lifetimes, to prevent changes.
A domain has billions of creatures and is vast and billions of miles. It is of great importance. If you make friends with the wrong people, it will be a great disaster.
This impossible thing has happened now. Now thinking about the time when he attained the Tao, it coincided with the period when the guardian stone spirit failed to pass the tribulation. The two were likely to have hooked up at that time.
The backhand plan that the guardian stone spirit had left before the ten tribulations was exposed in one day, which changed the situation in the world, and countless ordinary people became victims.
If the Holy Spirit Sect had unified the Hejue Region smoothly, there would naturally not be much killing. Instead, this back-and-forth change was the real tragedy.
Dan Shanzi's betrayal can be said to have instantly defeated the offensive of the Holy Spirit Sect. You must know that Dan Shanzi's betrayal not only means his betrayal, but also means that the sect faction and personal disciples who depend on him, etc., among the melon vines, Taoist companions and teachers, I don’t know how many people have become enemies.
Hua Yangzi, the second-in-command of the Holy Spirit Sect, made a decisive decision and completely purged the disciples and elders of Dan Shanzi's faction, killing them so hard that blood flowed like a river, the sky was dark, and the corpses were piled up.
Because there was Liu Mangzi, the Daluo Jinxian with unfathomable strength, behind him, this was a one-sided massacre.
After Dan Shanzi betrayed the Holy Spirit Sect, he did not take many people with him, but only some of his direct descendants. The faction that used to be attached to Dan Shanzi has now turned back again as the wind direction changes. After all, they are involved with Dan Shanzi. In order to prevent these people from betraying again, the Holy Spirit Sect has allocated some of its efforts.
However, it must be pointed out that Dan Shanzi is the weakest among the three Daluo immortals of the Holy Spirit Sect. Although his betrayal is incredible, it has not changed the general trend.
On the surface, the Holy Spirit Sect is still in the upper position. As long as the Guardian Stone Spirit does not completely destroy its own acupoints and does not return to the peak. The Holy Spirit Sect, or Liu Mangzi, can change the general trend by himself.
The final showdown will be between Liu Mangzi and the Guardian Stone Spirit. All immortals understand this. Now that the offensive of the Holy Spirit Sect is fierce, it will be useless if it loses the final battle. It is also expected to be counterattacked.
However, this does not mean that the confrontation between the two major forces is meaningless. If the winner is only decided after the Guardian Stone Spirit and Liu Mangzi, what is the meaning for all living beings?
The revolution from top to bottom is doomed to be incomplete, imperfect, and have big loopholes. Only when everyone participates in this catastrophe can this catastrophe really play a role in change.
Besides, the battles between the lower classes may not necessarily affect the upper class. If the battles in the upper class are intense and the outcome is unclear, whoever wins the battle in the lower class will control the destiny of heaven and earth. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the winner.
Therefore, the battles between the lower classes are still necessary. But in the eyes of many people, they don’t think so.
In addition, the wars between the lower classes can also play a role in reducing the number of living beings.
With fewer living beings, there will be fewer causal connections. With fewer causal connections, the calamity contained in it will be weaker. With weaker calamity, the catastrophe will almost end.
Why did the Holy Spirit Sect take the risk of fighting the Guardian Stone Spirit? Isn’t it because the Guardian Stone Spirit occupies the spiritual power of the entire upper world, and future generations have no way to advance, which has become the biggest obstacle?
Why do workers oppose capitalists? Isn’t it because they don’t pay enough money? If capitalists use capital to redeem workers, will workers still oppose them? It has been 996 for more than ten years, but no one has come out to complain. Why are they coming out now? It’s because they are not paid for overtime.
From the very beginning, this war could not be resolved by the battle between the Guardian Stone Spirit and Liu Mangzi.
Dan Shanzi's betrayal delayed the offensive of the Holy Spirit Sect for nearly a hundred years, and this was when Hua Yangzi took decisive action to clean up the sect. If he had not been so decisive, it would not be impossible to delay it for a thousand years or even longer.
A hundred years is not a long time for a great catastrophe in the realm, but it is a long time window for the Guardian Stone Spirit. The later it is, the more difficult it will be for him to break the acupoints on his body.
The Destruction Lotus Seed is indeed powerful and has a deep foundation, but the Guardian Stone Spirit's foundation is still too deep. It is normal that the acupoints have not been hit for thousands of times without any results.
On the one hand, the acupoints need to be broken, and on the other hand, the origin needs to be maintained. This difficulty is actually not small.
The spiritual energy accumulated by the Guardian Stone Spirit for countless catastrophes is now scattered as the acupoints are broken. The small realm where he lives cannot bear it at all, and it is scattered a lot.
The spiritual energy of the upper realm, and even the entire Hejue domain, has grown rapidly, and natural treasures have emerged one after another, and some spiritual creatures and beasts that have been extinct for many calamities have also appeared.
Nowadays, a hundred years of cultivation is better than a thousand years in the past. Many "geniuses and outstanding people" have emerged, and there are even a hundred years to comprehend the Taichu Dao fruit from the Qi Refining Realm.
A hundred years to become an immortal, this is a magnificent era!
