Douluo: Wuhun Seven Killing Sword, Sword Opens the Gate of Heaven

Chapter 284 Either explode in silence or perish in silence

The protagonist of the negotiations with the Snow Mountain Sect was Ning Rongrong. Ning Tianchen did not interrupt, but observed everyone in the hall.

The twenty seats under the high seat were not fully occupied. It was obvious that many elders of the Snow Mountain Sect were away on business.

It is worth mentioning that the front few chairs on both sides of the high seat were full of people.

Ning Tianchen's strength was not enough to detect the specific strength of high-level spirit masters, but through their spirit aura, he could roughly determine that the fourth and fifth ranked people were definitely Titled Douluo. However, their auras were far inferior to Tian Chenxing's, so they were probably just ordinary Titled Douluo.

Ning Rongrong thought for a while and replied, "I can proudly say that the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is the richest sect on the continent. To cooperate with us, you don't necessarily need to come out of the world. The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect can reach a business cooperation with your sect and help your sect."

In general, the words that Ning Fengzhi taught her were intended to reach a cooperation with the Snow Mountain Sect in a business way.

But the Snow Mountain Sect doesn't care about these things at all, and he doesn't need any kind of business cooperation.

For a super sect that lives in seclusion, achieving self-sufficiency is not a problem at all. Moreover, the lives of their disciples are not so bad that they need help from others.

It is conceivable that Ning Rongrong's words would not arouse their desire to cooperate.

The Snow Mountain Sect Master nodded politely, then looked at Ning Tianchen, "What do you want to say? Compared to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, you are our friend."

Ning Tianchen was slightly surprised. He didn't expect that his face would be so great.

Ning Rongrong looked at him, her eyes full of anxiety.

Although the other party did not give a direct answer, she knew that she had messed up the meeting. If Ning Tianchen could not smooth things over for her, then this trip would be in vain.

Ning Tianchen thought for a moment.

Northerners are straightforward and don't like to beat around the bush.

After organizing his words, he said, "Your sect must cooperate with the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect."

"Oh?" The Snow Mountain Sect Leader was surprised.

The other people in the hall were whispering to each other, obviously dissatisfied with his words.

Ning Tianchen continued, "Either explode in silence or perish in silence. I think there is nothing wrong with seclusion. Avoiding the fighting on the continent will give the sect precious time to recuperate."

"It is for this reason that the current Haotian Sect has chosen to remain in seclusion."

"But if you hide from the world for a long time and don't connect with the world, you will be eliminated sooner or later. That's why I said you will die in silence."

After saying that, Tian Chao quickly shook his head at him.

Isn't such speech a curse for the Snow Mountain Sect's demise?

It’s better to say it in front of the Snow Mountain Sect’s leader and elders. If anyone cares about it, their situation will be dangerous.

However, Tian Guozhen really appreciated Ning Tianchen's theory and felt that what he said made sense.

The great elder Tian Chenxing sneered and said, "Everything is fine in our Snow Mountain Sect, don't make alarmist remarks here."

Before he could continue, the Snow Mountain Sect Master waved his hand to stop him and looked at Ning Tianchen curiously, "What a novel theory. Go on, I want to hear it all. Elders, please be patient and listen carefully to what this friend has to say next."

Ning Tianchen smiled faintly, "It's very simple. Because in order to ensure the purity of your bloodline, you will definitely choose to marry within your family. The offspring of close relatives will produce many extremes. One is a peerless genius. Such offspring inherit the advantages of both parents and have particularly strong talents. But this is just an exception, and it is very rare."

"The most common situation is that there are a large number of mentally retarded children. These children cannot even learn to speak when they are ten years old."

Before coming here, Ning Tianchen had studied a large number of cases of hidden sects.

Internal marriage is a common practice among these sects.

Except for a small number of disciples traveling on the mainland, the rest of the disciples in the sect can only marry close relatives.

Based on the biological theories he learned in his previous life, he knew the disadvantages of marrying close relatives.

After he finished speaking, the whole hall was in an uproar.

Most people think that Ning Tianchen is right. There are indeed many morons born in the Snow Mountain Sect every year. And in order to maintain the bloodline of the sect, the fate of these morons can be imagined.

But some people also think that Ning Tianchen was just spreading rumors to confuse the public and just happened to say the right thing.

The leader of the Snow Mountain Sect fell into deep thought and was slow to express his opinion.

Ning Rongrong was surprised by his amazing remarks and quickly poked his sleeve, "Brother Tianchen, stop talking nonsense and explain it to everyone."

Ning Tianchen patted the back of her hand, signaling her not to worry.

In the past life, how could the conclusions drawn after being verified by scientific theories be wrong?

Intermarriage may be okay within a few generations, but as time goes by, this situation will only become more serious until the entire sect disappears completely.

This is also the reason why, although there are so many hidden sects on the continent, apart from the Snow Mountain Sect, there are no other powerful sects.

After a long silence, the Snow Mountain Sect Master stood up and said, "My name is Tian Ruyang, what should I call you, my friend?"

The other party already knew his name, so this question was actually about how to write his name.

"Ning Tianchen, Tian means sky, Chen means dust. The one next to me is Ning Rongrong, Rong means glory." Ning Tianchen bowed and replied.

Tian Ruyang nodded seriously, and then asked: "Why did you say what you just said? What's the reason for this?"

Ning Tianchen explained: "Our martial souls are normally inherited from one of our parents. As far as I know, each martial soul has certain defects to a greater or lesser extent."

"For example, the giant axe spirit is very heavy and has no speed. The iron sword spirit is sharp and fast, but lacks hardness and lethality."

"If the parents are not close relatives, then their offspring will most likely inherit the axe or iron sword martial spirit. There is a very small chance that a mutation will occur, that is, possessing the advantages of both martial spirits at the same time. This is what we often call a benign mutation."

"But if close relatives marry, there is a high probability that they will inherit the shortcomings of both martial spirits at the same time. That is, the axe becomes very light and hollow inside, but extremely large on the outside. Such an axe has neither hardness nor speed. This is what is often called a malignant mutation."

"And if both parents have the same martial spirit, the martial spirit's shortcomings will be infinitely magnified."

Taking the martial spirits on Douluo Continent as an example, everyone present understood what he meant.

Tian Ruyang confirmed again: "You mean, inbreeding is the culprit?"

Ning Tianchen nodded, "Sect Master Tian should have discovered that the proportion of mentally retarded babies among newborns is gradually increasing every year. When awakening their martial souls, more and more disciples have innate low soul power. This is a sign of destruction."

For a moment, there was silence in the hall.

What Ning Tianchen said hit their sore spot precisely.

They also reached a consensus that each generation of disciples in the sect is inferior to the previous one.

But unexpectedly, Ning Tianchen's words revealed the real reason.

Tian Chenxing bowed to him and said, "Friend, this can be resolved by marrying an outsider, is that right?"

Northerners dare to love and hate, Ning Tianchen's proposal is useful to them, and Tian Chenxing had to change his attitude.

Ning Tianchen nodded in affirmation.

"That means we have no choice but to come out into the world." The second elder sighed.

On the mainland, few people knew about the Snow Mountain Sect. If they hadn't come into the world, which parent would let their children marry into a sect they had never heard of?

Who knows, someone might mistake them for human traffickers, leading the Tiandou Empire to encircle and suppress them.

Ning Tianchen saw that the time was ripe, so he said loudly: "So, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's cooperation with you can not only bring you benefits, but also save you. I don't understand why you are still hesitating."

The third elder stood up and said, "How can we believe that your theory is true? What if you deliberately used such a despicable method to deceive us in order to make the two major sects reach a cooperation?"

Without Ning Tianchen saying anything, Tian Guozhen drew inferences from his example and said, "Third Elder, don't you think this is ridiculous? Aren't there so many people on the continent who are living examples? Without inbreeding, humans have been around for at least hundreds of thousands of years since records began on the continent, yet they have survived to this day, and the population is still growing."

"On the other hand, the secluded sects on the mainland all claim to be secluded for ten thousand years, but after ten thousand years, will they still exist? Aren't these issues worth reflecting on?"

The Third Elder is a Titled Douluo. Can Tian Guo really confront him just like that?
Ning Tianchen was dumbfounded.

He always felt that the ranking system of the Snow Mountain Sect was not completely useless. At least, strength was not the only criterion here, and it could effectively avoid the situation of taking advantage of one's seniority. The Third Elder was speechless after being confronted by him, but he did not use his strength to suppress others. Tian Guozhen's status was probably equivalent to the executive deputy leader of the Snow Mountain Sect.

The second elder was tactful and tried to smooth things over, "But we can't just announce the birth right away, right? Most of the disciples have never walked in the world of spirit masters. If they all go down the mountain, I'm afraid it will cause huge trouble for the sect."

"We should deal with everything step by step, and discuss it with everyone."

Tian Ruyang took over the conversation, "Either explode in silence or perish in silence. This is a warning. It has been more than two hundred years since the Snow Mountain Sect closed its doors to the world. It is time to announce our return to the mainland."

Tian Guozhen and others suddenly felt excited.

They often go into the Far North to explore, so they have some understanding of the situation on the continent.

With the strength of the Snow Mountain Sect, it can definitely compete for the position of the top three sects.

Next, the main hall fell into a heated discussion. Ning Tianchen and Ning Rongrong tactfully left the main hall and took a rest in a side hall, waiting for them to come to a conclusion.

Ning Rongrong smiled and said, "If I had known earlier, I would have let Brother Tianchen tell me from the beginning. Dad is really something. He insisted on making me do this kind of thing."

Ning Tianchen touched her forehead and said gently, "Uncle Ning's arrangement is not wrong, but he has never been in contact with the hidden sect, so he doesn't know what the other party wants."

If Ning Rongrong had told any small sect what she had just said, the sect leader would have thought that smoke was coming out of his ancestral grave.

You must know that by cooperating with the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, you will not only get the protection of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, but you can also eat and drink the best food and drink of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, and even earn wealth that you cannot spend in several lifetimes.

Sects like the Snow Mountain Sect don't pay attention to external issues at all, but are more concerned about whether the sect can be passed down for a long time.

Ning Tianchen's words were exactly the right remedy for the situation.

"But Brother Tianchen, how do you know these theories?" Ning Rongrong blinked and asked in confusion.

People on the mainland only know that close relatives cannot marry, but they have no idea why.

Ning Tianchen smiled and said, "Rongrong, you can't just read books related to soul master theory. Books on people's livelihood and miscellaneous subjects are also important. Paying attention to the construction of people's livelihood in the sect is also a top priority."

Ning Rongrong nodded, not quite understanding.

……

The two of them waited in the side hall until dark, but they didn't see the Snow Mountain Sect's top leaders come to a conclusion.

Just as the two were preparing to go down the mountain to rest, the waiter came over and announced, "Dear guests, the sect master has something for you to discuss. Please follow me."

The two did not refuse.

Entering the hall, Tian Ruyang was not talking about the cooperation between the two major sects.

"After discussion, the Snow Mountain Sect has decided to explore the Arctic ice field in the next few days. Guo Zhen, Tian Chao, Guo Cheng, and the third elder Tian Qihua will form an expedition team."

Ning Tianchen said speechlessly: "Sect Master Tian, ​​this is an internal matter of your sect, why do you need to tell us separately? Of course, we have no intention of interfering in your sect's internal affairs."

Tian Chenxing explained with a smile: "The Sect Master is not informing you, but asking you if you two are willing to go together. Just consider it as your reward."

"Don't worry, the cooperation with the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect is another matter. We are still discussing how to launch the sect, and we will reach a conclusion soon. However, I still hope that you can inform your sect in advance. Our envoy will go to your sect to discuss the specific cooperation matters in a short time."

Ning Rongrong suddenly felt delighted.

However, she was a little undecided about whether to enter the Far North.

Ning Tianchen asked the question in his mind, "In winter, the Far North will experience eternal night, and it will also be accompanied by strong storms. It is not a good time to enter now."

Tian Ruyang smiled faintly and told the two of them the situation, "You are right, but entering in winter is also the safest season. Most soul beasts will enter hibernation, and the safety problem can be solved."

"As for the environment, it is not a problem at all for soul masters."

Ning Tianchen seemed to be thinking about something.

The Snow Mountain Sect has done a lot of exploration in the far north, and the storm will at most affect the direction. For those who know the direction, this is not a problem.

Moreover, they only need to draw a map along the way when they enter the Far North. In the future, people from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect can also follow this route map to explore the Far North.

The map is a priceless treasure, and the Snow Mountain Sect's arrangement shows their sincerity.

In this case, Ning Tianchen replied: "Thank you for your kindness, Sect Master Tian. We really need this experience."

Tian Ruyang: "Okay, then you should prepare early. Guozhen, you should talk to your two friends about the precautions."

……

On the way down the mountain, Tian Guozhen mentioned a lot of precautions.

In the entire sect, apart from the elders who were above the level of Soul Douluo, he was the one who had explored the Far North the most times.

Ning Rongrong said with some concern: "Will the Arctic ice field be very cold in winter? I'm afraid my body can't stand it."

Tian Guozhen smiled and said, "Don't worry, there are many animal skins in the sect, which are much warmer than the coats you are wearing. When you set out, you can walk in the middle of the team to avoid the cold wind."

"If we really encounter a huge storm, the inner elixir that my friend took out earlier should be able to withstand it."

The Ten-Headed Fiery Sun Snake possesses an extremely pure flame, and half of its cultivation is contained in its inner elixir. Environmental factors alone are not enough to extinguish its inner elixir.

"Don't worry, Rongrong, I'm here." Ning Tianchen pulled her arm and said seriously.

Once the Shura Divine Test is launched on the Arctic ice field, Ning Rongrong might be able to pass the test and even enter the eyes of other gods in the God Realm.

Of course, we cannot abandon Ning Rongrong when faced with such a good thing.

Tian Chao added, "You should get some rest early. Winter is coming in the next two days, and we must enter the Arctic Icefield before the snow blocks the mountain."

"So, most likely, we will set off at noon tomorrow. You are from the south, so you need to get enough rest."

……

The next day, as expected, Tian Chao and his two companions came to their room early in the morning and urged them to set off as soon as possible.

It is worth mentioning that the whole tiger skin sent by Tian Guozhen is quite warm when worn on the body.

"Of course. This is the skin of a ten thousand year old snow mountain white tiger. It is priceless on the mainland. My friend, are you satisfied with this gift?" Tian Chao said with a smile.

"Thank you very much." Ning Tianchen clasped his fists.

It can be seen that in order to make the tiger skin fit better, someone in the Snow Mountain Sect must have changed the size of the tiger skin overnight to make it fit the two people's bodies perfectly.

Tian Guozhen said: "Wearing the skin of a soul beast can also prevent the attack of the soul beast to a certain extent. Therefore, no matter whether the tiger skin is dirty or damp, you can't take it off."

Tian Chao said unhappily: "Guo Zhen, that's enough. After all, this is the first time for the two friends to enter the Far North, so there is no need to be so strict. By the way, remember that in the snowy plains, once your skin is exposed, you must immediately cover it with soul power. Otherwise, the cold weather will freeze your exposed skin to death. At that time, you will have to completely remove that part."

"Elder Tian Qihua went down the mountain two hours ago and prepared to eat on the way. Judging from the time, he will be back soon. We should go there as soon as possible and don't keep him waiting for too long."

At the foot of the mountain, Tian Qihua was pulling a cart full of dried meat and several carts full of firewood.

He distributed the food according to everyone's appetite.

"Don't we bring water?" Ning Rongrong asked.

Ning Tianchen explained: "Heat the snow until it melts and it becomes clear water that can be drunk directly."

There is no industrial pollution in Douluo Continent, and the snow water is quite clean and completely drinkable.

……

After completing the preparations before departure, everyone rushed towards the snowy town without stopping.

The frozen forest is the fastest route to enter the Arctic ice field. If you want to enter the Arctic ice field from other directions, you must cross many snow-capped mountains, which is purely a hassle.
