The Nine Great Sects, no, it should be called the Eight Great Sects now, and the leaders gathered at Yijian Gate again and started a meeting.

Bai Feng was not invited to participate.

This is almost a clear statement - the current Qianyangmen is no longer the Qianyangmen of the past, and a sect with more than 400 disciples is not qualified to participate in such a meeting.

But to be honest, even if they invite, Bai Feng may not go.

Bai Feng had participated in the previous meetings as a representative of Qianyangmen, and the theme of each meeting was the same - the nine major factions established offensive and defensive alliances with each other, including the formation of a joint emergency force, Take out the stored materials, especially the spirit stone resources, and use them exclusively for this army.

It is similar to the previous Sanmai Daoist led by Bai Feng commanding an army of 3000 people, but this time their commander was replaced by a Taoist from the Sword Gate.

This coalition has a larger scale and more spiritual stones. Almost one-third of the spirit stone reserves of the nine major factions have been put into this coalition.

This model used to be the effect that the senior brother pursued. Of course, the ultimate hope is to merge the nine major sects into one, and eventually become one sect, completely completing the monopoly of the high-end business of Ascension to Heaven Realm. ——Including the supply of flying swords and magic weapons, as well as the pricing power of spirit stones.

Sanmai Zhenren once estimated that if it goes well, such integration can be completed within 100 years, and if it doesn't go well-50 years will be enough.

Whether it goes well or not here obviously refers to the situation in Shengtian Territory.

The greater the external pressure on the Nine Great Factions, the more they can promote such alliances within the Nine Great Factions.On the contrary, the impetus for this combination is much smaller.

But the senior brother would never have imagined that after Qianyangmen disappeared, such a union only took half a month. ——It fully demonstrates the great pressure that the search and rescue team puts on the Nine Martial Arts.

Not only the alliance of the Nine Great Sects, but even many medium-strength sects that originally wandered around the Nine Great Sects have now taken the initiative to send envoys to approach them—all expressing their willingness to accept the leadership of the Nine Great Sects.

A storm is faintly about to start, and everyone can feel this atmosphere, and everyone is seeking some kind of practical shelter in this illusory world.

Bai Feng waited in the reception room of Yijianmen for two hours, but the Taoist hadn't come out yet.The few disciples who came with him couldn't hold back their temper, and came over several times to ask him about the joint dispatch this time: "Master, if they don't agree to the alliance, then let's agree and send it together, it really can't dragged."

Bai Feng glanced at him, and only said two words: "Wait."

The disciple who suggested took a deep look at Bai Feng, turned around and wanted to leave, but he was a little unwilling, and lowered his voice and whispered: "Master, our spirit stones are only enough for two months! The last 400 people in Yangmen are about to run out of oil and burn out."

Bai Feng ignored him, and didn't even open his eyes.After the disciple left, he subconsciously calculated the numbers in his mind.

After the disaster, Bai Feng counted the resources of Lingshi immediately. He knew that what this disciple said must be an exaggeration. It would definitely not be possible to use up the spirit energy in two months.

Not to mention the storage of Qianyangmen in other places, it is the spirit stone resources they brought out from the coalition forces. How can these 400 people use them for a year or so? The consumption time of scale battles.

If you are like those low-level cultivators on Lingyan Island who are reluctant to use Feijian and stay in the cave every day waiting to die, it will not be a problem to use it for 30 to [-] years.

But the current situation is that those who have spirit stones can wait, but those who don't have spirit stones can't wait anymore.

In the outermost layer of Ascension to Heaven Realm, those marginal sects have begun to show a large number of besieged sects.

Like the Nine Great Sects, the first thing these small sects on the outskirts knew that the source of spiritual energy had been cut off was to expel their disciples.

Get rid of those with poor aptitude, keep the essence of the sect, and use all the spirit stones to ensure the survival of these essences, so as to survive this disaster-to achieve a better development situation after the disaster.

No one in the Ascension Realm understands economics, but everyone starts to do things strictly according to economic concepts—because the internal principles are the same, if an organization doesn't do this, it will die first.Those who survive are the executors of this strategy.

The savings of these small sects themselves are not high, and the efficiency of absorbing spiritual energy is very low, and the proportion of disciples at the bottom is quite large-so after the implementation of this policy, a large group of people formed around these small sects almost immediately. The Spiritless Stone class.

Their situation is better than that of those people who don't have flying swords on Lingying Island, but it's just a little bit better.If the aura in the body is used sparingly, the turtle is in the cave, and it will not be a big problem to deal with it for two or three months.

But the wait is not without cost, because the longer they wait, the worse their fighting ability will be.After two months, if the situation in the Ascension Realm has not improved, it will be difficult to fly quickly with the remaining power, let alone fighting.

And is there any hope of improving the situation in Ascension Realm?

Maybe in the first few days, relying on the inertia of previous life, everyone felt that the problem should not be too big.But only a few days later, when more and more people like them joined these teams, that hope inevitably began to be dashed.

The biggest superficial symptom of this disillusionment is that they have nowhere else to stay.

In terms of terrain distribution, Ascension Realm is an island-type civilization. The biggest difference from Earth is that it does not have a stable gravity field. In space, islands of all sizes are scattered everywhere.

Because of "more people and less land", these islands have naturally had owners in the long history before, and the ownership of these lands is of course divided in the form of sects.

Strong sects get more and better resources—mainly areas with higher electromagnetic field strength, while weak sects can only migrate outside.

Unlike on Earth, where a large number of land mergers will occur at the end of each dynasty, in Ascension Realm, strong sects do not pursue the size of the territory, because the territory is meaningless in the flying world.

In analogy to the earth, every small island in Ascension Realm should be more like a battleship.

For battleships, quantity means very little, and quality is more important.

A steel battleship can defeat a hundred wooden ships, while a modern aircraft carrier can wipe out all the main naval forces of a country during World War II without any damage.

For example, the nine most powerful sects all control the territory, that is, nine islands, but these nine islands are like nine aircraft carriers on this planet-all the ships of other sects add up, and it is not the nine islands. Big opponent.

It is also because of this that the "class conflicts" in Shengtian territory have not evolved in a deeper direction.No matter how bad the ordinary trapeze is, there is always a place to stay.For example, places like Nine Heavens Island where Yan Xiu stayed before.Although there is a huge gap in strength between the Nine Great Factions, there is still no problem with his own survival.

But now, a nuclear bomb has completely broken the ecological model cultivated by the Ascension Realm for more than 1400 years.

The power source is cut off, which means that from the moment after the nuclear explosion, all sects must rely on their original reserves to survive.The cultivation that everyone paid the most attention to in the past has now become a waste.In just a few days, this nuclear bomb forced the entire Ascension Realm into the law of survival of the jungle.

This is the original face of this world.

Disciples with poor skills are meaningless. Their savings are very small. They are usually "newcomers" who have lived for less than 50 years after being reborn. They have less savings of spirit stones and naturally the combat power they can provide is not high. The utilization efficiency of Lingshi is also very low.

It is also a flying sword. One person, a master can quickly kill hundreds of people with a sword, often just because of his speed and reaction, he is a little faster than these people.In other words, with the same combat power, one expert is equal to one hundred rookies.

In actual combat, this ratio is often higher and more disparate.

In such an environment, if a sect wants to use limited spiritual energy to maximize its combat effectiveness, the most reasonable way to distribute it is to gather these spiritual energy for use by a few people.Too many low-level cultivators at this time not only cannot provide combat support, but their existence itself will become a burden-the flying man also needs to consume aura to survive.

Just like an economic crisis will inevitably lead to a wave of unemployment, and a food shortage will inevitably lead to a large number of people fleeing from famine, and the "spiritual energy crisis" will naturally give birth to a large number of "unaffiliated people" surrounding the island.

At the beginning, after these people left the sect, they would still stay on some neutral desert islands, trying to rely on their own little savings to support them for as long as they could, even if it was any time, but when they arrived at these desert islands, they would It turned out that there was no place for them to stay.

In the entire Ascension Realm, more than 90% of the people have become refugees.And there is less than one percent of the places that can accommodate these people.Many of these "islands" are not islands anymore, they are just a few random stones, or drift points formed by metal houses of several space stations.

Theoretically speaking, it seems that even if the flying man is living in complete air, as long as there is power temporarily, there seems to be no problem.

But in reality, the problem is huge.

The core of this problem is that if you live on an island without aura, then life seems to be able to continue.Apart from not being able to replenish aura, everything seems to be no different from the previous life.But now, they have no place to stay.

Bai Feng saw with his own eyes an island near the Nine Great Factions. Just three days ago, a small cave that could only accommodate hundreds of people—in fact, it was a pile of stones built together with mud, unexpectedly filled thousands of people go in.
