Wang Zhifan conversed with the three extraordinary innate Daoists up to this point. Among them, the one he was most familiar with, Qingyangzi, suddenly spoke:
"Daoist Fanyun, according to the traditions of our sect, your cultivation reaches the skies and you have the rit of slaying two Demon Venerables. It’s ti to establish a hall to pass on the teachings. How about setting up the Martial Venerable Hall right here in Celestial Essence City?"
"..."
Upon hearing Qingyangzi’s sudden words, Wang Zhifan almost couldn’t hold his expression, wanting to respond with an utterly bewildered "Huh???"
But he had just gone through the initial shock, so he had so resistance to the current situation. Thus, he put on a slightly puzzled expression and replied:
"Daoist Qingyang, let’s postpone the matter of establishing a hall to leave a legacy. With the current invasion from the Demon Realm, even if I set up the Martial Venerable Hall, I simply won’t have the ti to properly instruct disciples, which would just lead to their ruin and delay their future success..."
He intended to refuse by citing the current macro situation, as Qingyangzi wanted him to establish the hall in Celestial Essence City to bind him further, making him one of them. However, he’s just a player who would definitely leave after the campaign ends, so establishing any Martial Venerable Hall is a complete waste of effort for him.
But to Wang Zhifan’s surprise, Qingyangzi, whom he expected to understand, remained resolute in his attitude. The middle-aged Daoist with moderate temperant said:
"Daoist Fanyun, your words are misplaced! Precisely because it is the ti of the Demon Realm invasion, we must establish a hall to leave a legacy!
In the current Calamity Realm, on the eve of a major battle, we must seize this valuable ti and cultivate our disciples as much as possible before the Demon Realm army arrives, to give them a chance to survive this catastrophe!
The principle of refining true gold through fire, I trust you understand, Daoist. The current perilous situation is both a danger and the best test. Even if you cannot personally teach your disciples daily, by offering guidance occasionally, they can rapidly grow through combat..."
Qingyangzi emphasized the importance of Wang Zhifan establishing a hall and taking on disciples, primarily to help more talents in the Calamity Realm enhance their abilities through Wang Zhifan’s power, allowing them to survive the increasingly intense invasion from the Demon Realm.
As for the so-called lack of ti to instruct, in his view, it was not an issue at all. The educational policy of this world is typically prodigy-oriented. Masters do not handhold every disciple towards high levels, but focus on passing on the tradition, filling disciples with basic knowledge of cultivation, leaving them to comprehend on their own, which doesn’t consu much ti.
Under this educational model, disciples only have the opportunity to ask their masters to clear up doubts at specific tis, which is unfavorable for those who are dull but very friendly to those genius disciples.
They quickly stand out among many disciples and naturally receive resource support from their masters, advancing rapidly. With sufficient combat experience, their growth rate becos astonishing, and all the great and small geniuses of the Calamity Realm grow through this path.
"Daoist Qingyang speaks the truth!"
Beside them, the elderly Mr. Zhenxu, holding a duster, chid in, providing confidential information that Wang Zhifan was unaware of:
"Martial Venerable, you might not know, but half an hour ago, the sage of the Confucian sect used supre insight to probe the Calamity Realm and discovered that the existence of the Demon Realm managed to infiltrate our realm using a very special cross-dinsional technique!
This technique originates from the Demon Realm’s side, capable of casting the demon sons and demon grandsons into the Calamity Realm out of thin air, while the Realm Protection Array shows no reaction, failing to intercept them.
The three Saints could originally modify the Realm Protection Array with so ti, hoping to change the situation.
However, the five Demon Lords of the Demon Realm anticipated this and are currently launching a fierce joint attack on the Realm Protection Array, forcing the three Saints to concentrate fully on maintaining the array’s integrity, without any opportunity to alter it. Otherwise, interfering with one aspect might lead to the whole array collapsing disastrously.
Furthermore, the sage inferred from the probe that the Demon Realm has not sent an army of billions directly into our Calamity Realm because they cannot currently do so.
The Demon Realm likely needs to rely on batches of demon sons and grandsons to gradually infuse the Calamity Realm with more of the Demon Realm’s aura, thereby gradually enhancing their transmission capability, which is why initially ordinary demons entered, followed by Demon Generals, and only recently have Demon Venerables appeared.
However, the Demon Venerables currently sent over by the Demon Realm are quite peculiar, mostly of ordinary strength, and unlike ancient records, none of them understand human speech, suggesting hidden mysteries, with the Demon Realm certainly plotting a shocking conspiracy..."
Mr. Zhenxu’s insider information instantly resolved many of Wang Zhifan’s doubts!
For example, why does the Demon Realm scatter so weak demon n over like rain instead of directly dispatching eight hundred Demon Venerables and a million Demon Generals to sweep through the Calamity Realm? It is because the Demon Realm initially lacks the ability to transfer powerful demons!
Moreover, they need these demons to pollute the Calamity Realm’s environnt, gradually strengthening their transmission capability, aning their primary intent was not to exhaust the Calamity Realm’s strength but rather to intentionally sacrifice these demons within the Calamity Realm, with the complete annihilation of dispatched demons aligning with their plan!
This strategy is currently almost impossible to counter. The discovery that the Demon Realm can already transmit Demon Venerables occurred too late for the inhabitants of the Calamity Realm, making it practically infeasible to seal these dangerous presences at present.
