Chapter 423: The Players Worried about the Wu Zun Palace

Wang Zhifan was talking to the three super-innate Taoists until this point. Qingyangzi, who was the one he was most familiar with, suddenly spoke up:
"Fellow Daoist Fanyun, according to the tradition of our sect, you have reached great heights in cultivation, and have the merit of killing two demon lords. It is time for you to set up a temple to pass on the tradition. Why not build a Martial Honored Temple in Tianyuan City? What do you think?"

"..."

After hearing Qing Yangzi's sudden words, Wang Zhifan almost couldn't hold back his expression, and wanted to respond to the other party with an extremely confused "Huh???"

But he had experienced the surprise just now, and had developed a certain resistance to the current situation, so he replied with a puzzled look:

“Fellow Daoist Qingyang, let’s put off the matter of setting up a temple and leaving behind the Taoist tradition. Now is the time when the demon world is invading. Even if I set up a Martial Honored Temple, I simply don’t have the spare time to properly teach my disciples. It will only mislead the students and delay their future…”

He wanted to refuse on the grounds of the current macro situation. After all, Qingyangzi wanted him to set up a temple in Tianyuan City in order to further bind him and make him completely his own. But he was just a player and would definitely leave after the copy was over, so setting up a Wuzun Temple was a complete waste of effort for him.

But what Wang Zhifan didn't expect was that after he said this, Qing Yangzi, who he thought would understand, remained firm in his attitude. He only heard this middle-aged Taoist with a moderate temperament say:

"Fellow Daoist Fan Yun is wrong! It is precisely because this is the time of the invasion of the demon world that we need to set up a temple to preserve the Taoist tradition!
We are in a disastrous situation right before a great war. We have no choice but to seize the precious time and train as many disciples as possible before the army of the demon world arrives, so that they can have a hope of surviving this catastrophe!

I'm sure you also understand the truth that true gold is forged from fire. The current crisis is both a dangerous situation and the best test. Even if you accept disciples and cannot teach them in person every day, as long as you give them some pointers from time to time, they can grow rapidly in battle..."

Qing Yangzi's words emphasized the importance of Wang Zhifan setting up a temple and recruiting disciples. His main purpose was to use Wang Zhifan's power to help more people in the disaster realm improve their strength and help them survive the increasingly fierce invasion of the demon world.

As for the so-called lack of time to teach, he doesn't think it's a big deal at all, because the educational policy of this world is the typical genius stream. The master will not teach every disciple hand-in-hand and strive for all disciples to reach a high level. Instead, he will focus on inheriting the Taoist tradition and give all the basic knowledge of cultivation to the disciples, allowing them to comprehend it on their own, which does not consume too much time.

Disciples under this educational model only have the opportunity to ask their master to resolve their doubts at specific times. Therefore, it is disadvantageous for those with dull talents, but very friendly to those talented disciples.

They will quickly stand out from the large number of disciples, and then naturally receive more resources from their master, making even faster progress. If they are given enough practical experience, their growth rate will be astonishingly fast. All geniuses, big and small, in the Realm of Disaster follow this growth path.

"Fellow Daoist Qingyang is absolutely right!"

The white-haired Taoist Zhenxu, who was holding a whisk, also interrupted and provided confidential information that Wang Zhifan did not know yet:
“Fellow Daoist Wu Zun may not know that half an hour ago, the Confucian master used his supreme wisdom to survey the world of the Disaster Realm and discovered that the reason those beings from the Demon Realm were able to break into our Disaster Realm was because they used some very special cross-border means!
This method originates from the demon world and can throw demon children and grandchildren into disaster out of thin air, while the protective formation will not react at all and will not intercept it.

Originally, as long as the three saints spent some time to modify the protective formation, there would be hope of changing this situation.

But the five demon kings of the demon world had already anticipated this, and they were now joining forces to attack the protective formation, forcing the three saints to concentrate all their efforts on maintaining the formation. They had no time to change the formation itself, otherwise it would be disastrous if a single move could cause the entire formation to collapse completely.

And based on the survey, the Master also inferred that the reason why the Demon Realm did not directly send hundreds of billions of troops into our disaster area is because they are currently unable to do so.

The demon world may need to rely on demon sons and grandsons to enter in batches, so that my world of disaster can be contaminated with more breath of the demon world, so as to gradually enhance their transmission ability. This is also the reason why those who came in at first were ordinary demons, and then demon generals appeared, and the demon lord only appeared recently.

However, the Demon Lords sent over from the Demon Realm are quite strange. Most of them are of average strength. And unlike the records in ancient books, none of them can speak human language. I am afraid there is a mystery hidden in it. The Demon Realm must be brewing a shocking conspiracy..."

Through the inside information told by Taoist Master Zhenxuzi, many doubts in Wang Zhifan’s mind were instantly resolved!
For example, why did the Demon Realm send some weak demons like water everywhere, instead of directly sending 800 demon lords and 1 million demon generals to wipe out the disaster area? It was because the Demon Realm did not have the ability to send powerful demons in the first place!

Moreover, they need these demons to pollute the world of the Disaster Realm in order to gradually enhance their teleportation capabilities. In other words, they send those demons here to consume the power of the Disaster Realm, but the more important thing is to deliberately let the demons be consumed in the Disaster Realm, and it is in line with their plan to kill all the demons sent out!

This strategy can be said to be almost unsolvable at present. The Demon Realm has been able to teleport the Demon Lord here, and the people in the Disaster Realm have just discovered this. It is currently difficult to actually seal these dangerous existences.

"No wonder I saw groups of demons building fortifications and collecting sacrifices in the valleys of Shenliang Mountain. It turns out they wanted to pollute the disaster realm and increase the power of the demon world...

Unfortunately, it is already a little late. Unless the three great saints can find the opportunity to correct the protective formation, this war has just begun. The subsequent demon lords may not be as easy to deal with as the previous ones..."

These breaking news made Wang Zhifan feel heavy-hearted. He had been very close to giving his all when he had killed the two Demon Lords before. But now he heard Zhenxuzi say that he had killed only ordinary Demon Lords, low-grade ones who couldn't even speak human language. He would probably be under a lot of pressure when he met high-level Demon Lords in the future.

"That's true! Fellow Daoist Wu Zun, if you don't set up the Wu Zun Hall and leave behind the Dao lineage, some talented juniors will definitely lose hope of advancement!
We don't have much time left in this disaster zone. Before the truly horrific catastrophe begins, training more disciples means preserving more fire!
Even if we unfortunately fall into the hands of the demons, there will be disciples who will continue to break all obstacles for our race!"

The fat Taoist Hua Yangzi, who had a sword hanging on his back, also became passionate at this moment and spoke with astonishing vigor.

Wang Zhifan could see that there was a blazing flame in the eyes of these three super-innate Taoists. That was the indomitable fighting spirit of the human race. Even though they were all high-level members of the human race, they had no intention of hiding behind the scenes and letting others take over first. They were all ready to fight ahead of others.

"Is this the difference between the extraordinary world and the ordinary world... People with great power and high position are the ones who rush to the front in times of disaster...

After all, in this world where great power is concentrated in one person, the accumulation of low-quality combat power is of little significance, and only powerful beings can influence the situation... It should be the same reason why they pay more attention to discovering talents when training disciples..." Wang Zhifan, who was touched, felt that he was convinced in his heart. He no longer thought that he was just a passer-by who could just hang out there, but planned to cooperate deeply with these generous and passionate natives.

The reason was not entirely because his heart was deeply touched, but because he felt that if he chose to refuse at this time, it would not be easy for him to develop in Tianyuan City, so there was no need for him to be so stubborn.

Wang Zhifan, who had figured it out, then decisively replied:
"Thanks to the three Taoist friends for not abandoning me, I will follow your advice and set up the Wu Zun Hall in Tianyuan City and recruit disciples from all over the world! However, I know very little about the specific matters, so I would like to ask the three Taoist friends to teach me a thing or two..."

"Easy to say!"

"Easy to say!"

"Qingyang, I remember there is a nice empty palace to the east of Qingyang Palace. We can just arrange for someone to repair it and use it..."

For a moment, the topic of discussion among the four people in Qingyang Palace shifted to the establishment of the Martial Honor Hall. The three Taoists not only gave Wang Zhifan advice, but also directly allocated an area of ​​Tianyuan City to Wang Zhifan. All kinds of corresponding configurations were also complete. For example, the cost of building the Martial Honor Hall was fully borne by the taxes of Tianyuan City, and Wang Zhifan did not need to spend a single penny personally.

This undoubtedly reflects the sincerity of the three super-innate Taoist priests in wanting Wang Zhifan to set up the Martial Honor Hall. They are not the kind of people who want to get something for nothing. They directly use genuine and good things to meet all of Wang Zhifan's needs.

In this way, Wang Zhifan's first day in this copy world passed quickly.

He did not rest at night, but participated in the design and construction of the Wuzun Hall, preparing to leave a deeper mark in this world.

During the same period, the demonic forces did not stop invading this world.

However, because the entire human race in the disaster zone reacted fully, the expedition team composed of countless human cultivators worked at high speed and eliminated a large number of demons, demon generals and even demon lords who were sent over.

Among them, the human race must have suffered considerable casualties, but it is also common for some elite monks to greatly improve their strength after training. It is difficult to say whether the overall strength of the disaster realm has increased or decreased after successive battles.

In any case, at least until the next day, Tianyuan City was still bustling with activity. The demon battlefield outside the city did not affect the unruly temperament of this city. After all, this battle was a complete victory for Tianyuan City. Both civilians and monks in Tianyuan City were happy from the bottom of their hearts.

Only the private room on the second floor of a restaurant that Wang Zhifan had visited was slightly different. The air here was filled with a faint atmosphere of sadness.

"Brother, you also personally went into the battlefield outside the city to investigate. Please share your thoughts with us."

At this moment, the six players that Wang Zhifan had met gathered in the same room, and the young player from Xia Country, who Wang Zhifan was most familiar with, asked a question to a short Asian man.

Just like what Wang Zhifan saw yesterday, this young man from Xia country took off the black magic mirror he was wearing, and kept spinning it between his fingers, looking very relaxed.

The short Asian man looked to be in his thirties or forties. Apart from his short stature, there was nothing memorable about him. Both his facial features and his clothes were extremely ordinary. He wore the most common blue cloth in this dungeon world. When he heard the question from the young man from Xia Country, he spoke slowly in a low voice:

"I agree with him... This is a very difficult instance. Perhaps the correct strategy is to stay behind as much as possible...

Yesterday in the battlefield outside, my invisibility was discovered by the monsters several times, not to mention the three strongest giant monsters. I felt a huge pressure even when approaching them, and I didn’t dare to really approach them until they were killed. However, their corpses were so strong that I gave up my plan to cut off some samples...

The intelligence I gathered in the city shows that such enemies are not rare in size and quality, and they have appeared in other places, which means that our enemies in this instance are both numerous and strong, and they are also very scattered..."

The short Asian man spoke calmly, and in the middle of the conversation he glanced at a tall and strong white man leaning against the wall of the private room to express his agreement with his opinion. Although he did not show any fear, anyone could hear the hint of despair in his words, which was a huge worry about the high strength of the enemies in the dungeon.

"I also observed the three large monsters you mentioned up close. They were indeed very difficult to deal with."

The young man from Xia country, who was twirling his black sunglasses on his fingers, nodded after listening. He did go out of the city and carefully observe the horrific scene of the three demon lords attacking the city when the demons invaded Tianyuan City yesterday. But even when he recalled this, the relaxed look on his face remained unchanged.

"But you all know that the three big monsters were killed one after another by the high-level NPCs in this city, and the tens of thousands of other monsters outside the city were also killed by a large number of ordinary NPCs. Since the NPCs in this instance are so powerful, we don't have to worry too much about the so-called instance difficulty. We can choose to assist the NPCs in battle and let them lead us through the instance. This is in line with the requirements for passing the instance.

As for the strategy of completely lying down that you proposed, I personally strongly disagree with it, because I know that the copy has a hidden mechanism for players who lie down.

If we really lie low and do nothing because the enemy is too strong, and let the NPC handle everything, then according to my prediction, either the enemy will appear near us next time, or even land on top of our heads, forcing us to fight, or we will fall into a slow death, and the NPC will suddenly die in large numbers after a major battle, and we will be easily surrounded by monsters and wiped out because we are isolated and helpless..."

The young man from the Xia country expounded his views in a very organized manner, mainly refuting the idea of ​​​​cowards in this player group because the dungeon enemies seemed ridiculously strong. He especially emphasized that it is not so easy to be a coward, and the dungeon will definitely take certain measures to target them.
