Start with global travel

This situation has not fundamentally changed until now, but anyone who can reach the stage of the primordial spirit will not make this choice.

In the final analysis, the Spirit of Harmonious Dao as a whole is a group of cultivators' alliances, and only a few of them are based on love.

However, just like non-yuanshen realm cannot enter the star palace and thus transfer to a star cultivator, there is also a high threshold for the cultivation of the Tao. If you have not reached the strength of the Yuanying realm, you can't switch to this path. "

Speaking of this, Shi Wanxuan seemed to inadvertently sigh with emotion: "If we really want to calculate the average quality of all Taoist cultivators, the star cultivator probably ranks first, while the Taoist cultivator can only rank second."

Hearing her "casual" emotion, Zhang Yutong murmured in his heart, if this is the calculation, no matter how many "tributaries" and "auxiliary paths" are added, the average quality of orthodox immortal cultivators will be the bottom one.

It doesn't matter if the most outstanding people vote with their feet, those cultivators who have been wandering in the middle and low levels all their lives always occupy the absolute number of the entire cultivation system, no matter how outstanding talents are "averaged" by them, they will become unsightly.

Zhang Yutong knew that what he said just now had offended her, so he didn't argue with her, just smiled, turned to look at Tang Xiaotang, and asked:

"Based on your personal experience, what level of strength do ordinary cultivators need to become cultivators of illusion? Is the Purple Mansion Realm enough?"

Tang Xiaotang glanced at Shi Wanxuan next to her, shook her head and said:

"Although if you really want to be serious, it is not impossible to switch to this path in the Zifu realm, but it is very difficult. I have reached the peak of the Zifu realm, and it is only one step to break through the golden core. It took decades to complete the accumulation of insights.

Therefore, based on my experience, although the threshold for switching to this path is not high, it is still safe to have a foundation in the Golden Core Realm.

Of course, if one has the strength of the Nascent Soul Realm or even the Nascent Soul Realm, it will be very easy to switch to this path, and that is a matter of pinching one's hand. "

Uh... this is a bit too beautiful.

Although it cannot be completely ruled out that occasionally there will be one or two strange flowers selected in this way, but in such statistics, strange flowers have no reference value.

The fifty-fifth chapter of the long journey (eleven)

Things can't be argued clearly, and the reason can't be discerned.

In repeated discussions, the characteristics of the existing four roads have become very clear.

Although Yanxia has always adhered to the principle of "equality of personality", even if ordinary people are less than one-hundredth of a millionth of the strength and actual status of a cultivator in the Yuanshen realm, both parties are equal in personality, and any attempt to subvert this One principle is not only the enemy of Yanxia, ​​but also the enemy of Yanxia Shenlong.

Naturally, this is even more so among practitioners. There are good or bad talents, high or low realms, and strong or weak strength... These are all objective facts, but this is not the reason for the strong to abuse the weak wantonly, and the weak to bow their knees and serve as slaves.

Going a step further from this, and by extension, choosing a different path cannot be a reason to judge whether a practitioner is superior or inferior.

Although some roads are specially designed for geniuses and some roads are only for mediocrity, this is an objective fact, but it cannot be used to rudely classify practitioners into "classes".

Tang Xiaotang also didn't have the idea of ​​being inferior just because his first "envoy" was inferior to these "orthodox immortal cultivators" in these fairylands in all aspects.

The debate that should be argued, the debate that should be debated, will not give an inch.

But after combing through this, she couldn't help but have such an impression in her heart.

"Phantom Envoy Zhixiu" is like the grass in the field, like the melons, fruits and vegetables in the field.

"The cultivation of harmony" is like the farmers who tend these crops and the workers who are responsible for infrastructure construction.

"Xingxiu" is like a soldier who guards the country and is responsible for national defense and security.

"Orthodox Immortal Cultivator" is a Chinese. Compared with the other three cultivators, this cultivator has the highest degree of freedom.

And the upper limit is the highest and the lower limit is the lowest.

They are the richest and strongest cultivators, and they are also the poorest, most miserable, most hopeless, and even worse than a "grass".

This has nothing to do with dignity, it's just an objective fact.

Even her "grass" thinks so, so it's easy to know what other people think.

Zhang Yutong continued: "This situation has formed spontaneously, and the road has been blazed by the pioneers. I think we have the responsibility and the obligation to maintain it reasonably."

All the fairyland cultivators nodded their heads.

Shi Wanxuan asked with puzzlement: "That's really curious, what kind of maintenance is reasonable?"

Zhang Yutong said: "The existing stable pattern that has been formed spontaneously, we should positively strengthen and consolidate it, instead of destroying and reshaping it the other way around...even if we don't care about it, let it return to Scattered and vague is not advisable."

Shi Wanxuan tilted her head and said:

"It's a bit mysterious, but I understand the general meaning.

For example, our cultivation of the Dao, until now, has been regarded as a way out by cultivators who have achieved the Nascent Soul but have no hope of the Nascent Spirit.

Talented people are top-notch, and few choose this path.

This is the current situation, and it was indeed formed spontaneously. No one forced it to be like this, but it was a voluntary choice of everyone.

What you mean now is to solidify this into a rule.

In the future, even those who are really gifted and talented will not be able to choose this path, they will be forced to choose, and I am afraid that many obstacles and dangers will be set up to deter those who come later.

Even if the practice of Hedao broke out a new world and a new situation at that time, and provided practitioners with a new and better choice, you do not agree with this, right? "

Although she was smiling when she spoke, the "stinginess" in her words was very obvious.

Tang Xiaotang, who was held by her, was also staring at Zhang Yutong. The "Cultivation of Harmonious Dao" was already like this. Wouldn't it be even more unbearable for the "Phantom Envoy's Cultivation" with a lower position and now only represented by her.

If this kind of rule is really set today, then she is a "grass" now, and she will have to settle down in the future and be just a "grass" forever and ever? !

There is no such reason in the world.

Under the staring eyes of the two, Zhang Yutong did not back down, remained silent for a moment, and then said:

"I think this principle is very simple... After reaching the Purple Mansion Realm, you will condense the golden core. This is the common sense that all practitioners will follow, and this common sense was established about 300 years ago.

Now, if someone is unconventional and does not form a golden elixir after Zifu, he should go out of his mind and travel, what do you think? "

Not really, but there must be something wrong with this person.

It's like someone brings you a bowl of hot and fragrant food. You look at the rice in the bowl, which was selected and bred by the ancestors tens of thousands of years ago. , domesticated from wild birds to poultry chicken step by step, you dismissed it, smiled, and then carefully selected a wild grass, saying: "I don't eat rice, I eat it."

Zhang Yutong immediately asked again:

"Then what if it's not one person's innovation, but a group of people, or even everyone's choice? Should we respect and support it?"

If there is only one person who does not eat rice and must eat grass seeds, then let him die, respecting personal choice is respect.

But if one day everyone gets nervous, they all don't eat rice, and look for grass seeds to eat all over the mountains and plains.

Not to mention whether this kind of absurd thing will happen, if there is such a sign, you can't just clap your hands and support it.

This is the reason, but what Tang Xiaotang thinks, why does he feel that the taste is too strong.

Couldn't help but said: "This is not the same thing, isn't it too far-fetched for you to connect them together forcibly!"

Zhang Yutong said:

"Then you use the way you are doing now to suddenly shine in the future as an example, isn't it too forceful?

Since we are discussing based on objective reality, can we focus on objective reality?

Moreover, I don't think the example I just cited is too far-fetched. I have personally experienced the process of Zifu Jindan being established through exploration and discussion, and finally solidified into a common sense rule.

On the contrary, I am much more open about this kind of "common sense" than you, and I really think that it is really abolishing this way, and changing to a new way is a deviant and unforgivable sin. I just know that this kind of change itself is not It can be completed with a fluttering nod and nod, but a huge amount of cost must be paid!

This 'massive cost' is not only generations of practitioners, but also precious time.

I don't need to emphasize this, but I'm sure you all know what a luxury this is for us these days, and we're far from being able to splurge. "

She nodded and said:

"Similarly, I very much recognize the potential of the cultivation of the Tao, and I will never be self-righteous to the point that the path of Jindan, Yuanying, Yuanshen, and Zhenxian is the best.

I believe that as long as you are willing to invest in the "cost", whether it is the cultivation of the Tao or the cultivation of the illusion, it can also shine.

If the 'cost' invested is sufficient, it is not impossible to completely overwhelm the so-called 'orthodox immortal cultivation'. "

She looked at Shi Wanxuan who was silent, and Tang Xiaotang who was frowning tightly, her attitude was very sincere, but she said without any shyness:

"Whether you say that my ass determines my head, or say that I am stubbornly protecting food from the perspective of a vested interest, this is my attitude.

I don't know if I have the mentality to consider this issue in my heart, but the reason that really prompted me to put this matter on the table is this 'cost issue'.

The formation of the current pattern of practice did not happen overnight. It is the hard work of generations of people after the change of the sky, the painstaking efforts of countless people, and a full 400 years of arduous exploration... There are also many opportunities of the times that cannot be reproduced now. Only then did the current situation come into being.

I'm counting all of this as a cost, are you okay with that? "

Tang Xiaotang thought in his heart that he really had no opinion on this.

Zhang Yutong asked: "If we want to adjust it, change it, or even subvert it... Do you think we need to invest in additional 'costs'? How much is appropriate?

Do you think that these investments are reasonable in our current situation? "

Tang Xiaotang felt that she couldn't resist her questions.

Seeing Zhang Yutong who was pressing every step of the way and never giving up an inch, she really wanted to muster up the courage to reprimand: "You...you bully others!"

Really bully!

Bullied so confidently, so aggressively.

The silent Shi Wanxuan asked: "I think you already have a whole set of ideas in your mind, so why not talk about it carefully and listen to it."

Zhang Yutong said: "I do have some ideas, and this is not my own idea, it is the result of everyone's discussion."

As she spoke, she looked at the other fairyland cultivators around her, then looked at Shi Wanxuan and Tang Xiaotang again, and said, "However, this is only a preliminary idea. If you have any ideas, we can discuss and discuss them later."

Shi Wanxuan and Tang Xiaotang didn't speak, but looked at her seriously.

Even if Shi Wanxuan had a free and easy posture that was unfavorable to Cebu before, she has mobilized all her energy at this moment. She didn't know that she would face such a situation before she showed up. Now she is no longer herself, but She is the representative of all the spirits of harmony—the present one, and even the future ones. With such a responsibility, no matter how good her heart is, she can't be free and easy.

With her like this, the pressure in Tang Xiaotang's heart was even greater.

After "Ascension", this is what greeted her, she never expected.

If she had known this earlier, she would even be willing to give the title of "Fourth Path Founder" to others.

"First, we cannot impose limits on individual freedom of choice.

There are four paths in front of us, we can't forcefully stipulate that you are talented and talented, so you should take the orthodox immortal path, or go to the star palace to guard the sky area.

Your aptitude is poor, and your performance in other aspects is mediocre. There is no way out as an orthodox immortal cultivator, so after breaking through the golden core, you can transfer to a magician in peace.

This is simple and clear to implement, but if it is true, even if it does not become alienated, the entire structure may gradually lose its activity. "

Zhang Yutong said: "So, we cannot deprive individuals of their freedom of choice.

But on the other hand, we must maintain the existing stable structure and continue to carry out positive reinforcement. It is not true that the already stable structure becomes unstable because each individual has more options, or even repeated adjustments back and forth. "

Having said that, she looked at Shi Wanxuan and said:

"I have to say that Fairy Shi is really quick-witted and insightful. After much deliberation, we still came up with the method you proposed, which is to deliberately create some dangerous obstacles to achieve the purpose of controlling the diversion.

In order to achieve this goal, even if there is no obstacle, even if it is created, an obstacle must be created.

Orthodox Immortal Cultivator, Star Cultivator, and Hedao Cultivator have had some tacit understanding after many years of running-in, and now there is no need to deliberately emphasize something separately. More importantly, we cannot make a decision when one party is absent.

Therefore, I now have some immature ideas about the cultivation of phantom messengers. "

Tang Xiaotang's heart trembled secretly.

Feeling Zhang Yutong's eyes on her body, she somehow felt that the other party was holding a sharp blade in one hand and a shackle chain in the other, not only thinking of cutting the most flesh on her body without killing her, but also wanting to Chain her up.

Zhang Yutong, however, seemed to have no sense of being an "executioner". He looked at her, thought about it, and had a cordial discussion with her, the victim.

"What's the pass rate from the Golden Core Realm to the Nascent Soul Realm?" she asked.

Tang Xiaotang said honestly: "According to the latest statistics, one out of eighteen Golden Elixirs can pass... About one out of every 1601 million ordinary people can have a Nascent Soul Achiever."

Speaking of this, she specifically emphasized: "There are some advances in this statistical data. Many cultivators are still at the Golden Core level, but the big data shows that they will have a high probability of becoming Yuan in the next 200 years. Infant realm, these golden core realm cultivators are also counted as passers."

Zhang Yutong nodded to express his understanding, and said:

"That is to say, of all the cultivators who break through from the Purple Mansion and achieve Golden Core, seventeen out of eighteen will stay here for life.

There is no hope of ascension to Kyushu. For them, the Golden Core Realm's greatest meaning is to live longer in Blue Star and hold more authority. "

It seems that "living longer and gaining more authority" is an unattractive thing, but in the practice of Lan Xing who has become more and more pragmatic, these few are practitioners below the Jindan realm Hard work is the biggest source of motivation!

However, her conclusion is probably not bad.

"If switching to illusion makes this path popular, and there are no additional restrictions, how many people do you think will be willing to ascend to Kyushu through this path?"

"Seventeen and a half, at least." After thinking about it carefully, Tang Xiaotang gave an answer that he thought was conservative.

"Seventeen and a half? Why is there an extra half?" Zhang Yutong was curious.

"If there is the option of ascending to Kyushu, those powers and wealth are not attractive to the Jindan realm, so Jindan who are destined to stay here for the rest of their lives must switch to cultivation sooner or later. That's seventeen. .

There are also some who can break through and become Nascent Soul after persisting in painstaking practice for 200 years. There is a high probability that this level will stop at this level, and they will eventually have to switch to the spirit of harmony. If it turns ahead of time, it can fly 200 years earlier. "

Because Blue Star's practice style is becoming more and more pragmatic, it is not difficult to speculate on this trend.
