Data cultivation, I observe immortality in the five elements

Chapter 604: High-level game, there are reasons for everything, there is no right or wrong, it’s all about different positions
"Long, you've crossed the line."

"It is not your turn to comment on the affairs of my Wanxinghai Islands."

"The rules of the Inland Sea Islands were established in ancient times. They were snatched from the sea tribe bit by bit by our ancestors."

"As their descendants, we are naturally qualified to enjoy everything we have now!"

Not far away, there was a figure shrouded in mist, with blood light faintly visible, like an evil demon from outer space, and its eyes were bright, like two brilliant golden lights.

Since ancient times, the issue of the ownership of islands has been that whoever conquers the sea area and guards it will own the land.

Their descendants should also be eligible to enjoy this right.

Now, someone is digging up their roots
"What, you don't accept it?"

"Why should I, as a member of the Tianji Palace, explain what I do to you?" Venerable Yulong responded coldly without even looking over there.

He didn't take the other person seriously at all.

"Clothes?"

"Long, you are too arrogant and self-righteous."

"Many of the people present are your predecessors, and we won't tolerate your insolence!"

"If it weren't for Elder Baimei's prestige, you would have been counterattacked long ago for allowing the members of the Heavenly Secret Hall to act in this way."

"The reason why we are still here is to wait for Elder White Eyebrow to give an answer, a definite answer."

"And you cannot give this answer, nor are you qualified to answer it!"

An elder from the upper three realms gave a low shout, and the brightest light burst out, like a sun hanging in the sky, condensing in the air.

"Arrogant? What does arrogant mean?"

"I have the strength to be proud of this!"

"If you're not convinced, you can go to Tianwaitian for a fight!"

"Also, you old man, stop trying to deceive people with big principles, or I will beat you to death!" shouted Venerable Yulong.

There was a domineering tone in his words that made it impossible to refuse.

"The old man with white eyebrows speaks too smoothly. I don't like it."

"He is he, and I am me!"

Venerable Yulong took a step forward and walked to the center of the Starry Sky Hall. Divine light flowed all over his body, and his every move gave people an irresistible feeling.

Compared to the gentleness of the Taoist priest with white eyebrows, the Venerable Yulong appeared extremely strong, and his body was full of blood and energy, which obviously showed that he had fought his way through mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

"Today, I make this statement. The cleanup of the Wanxinghai Islands will last for a hundred years!"

"No limit!"

"If anyone among you refuses to obey, you can just stretch out your claws and see if I will chop you off!"

The blood shadow was silent for a while, then said calmly: "Long, the ancestral rules are the ancestral rules. No matter how dissatisfied you are, it is still the ancestral rules!"

"What's more, among the sect's Mahayana ancestors, there are four in my Wanxinghai Islands!"

Venerable Long turned around, his eyes instantly turned sideways, and he glanced at the people around him, saying: "The racial war is about to break out, but you bunch of parasites are still unwilling to contribute."

"How can we, relying solely on the power of the other seven ancestors, stop the combined efforts of several large clans?"

After the Tianji Palace's prophecy of a war was announced, all major sea areas within the Five Elements Sect took emergency preparations for war, stockpiling important cultivation resources, and fully cultivating the power of their disciples to improve their strength, just to be able to contribute more in the future.

It feels like a storm is about to come.

But at this moment, the Wanxinghai Islands were still immersed in a quiet and peaceful atmosphere, with no intention of preparing for war at all.

Many island masters in the upper three realms directly stated that cultivation is the most important thing, and the safety of the inner sea is also very important, so it is inconvenient for them to participate in this war.

However, we can appropriately increase the surrender of some spiritual mineral resources as a contribution to this war.

So this time the alien invasion was the result of the efforts of the other seven forces, and had nothing to do with their inland sea islands?
This naturally caused dissatisfaction among the other seven forces.

Now, in the absence of the great Mahayana ancestor, these venerable figures naturally follow their own ideas.

"Long, stop accusing us from a high position. Once a racial war breaks out, the seven factions will be fighting for themselves!"

"They are not here for us, and they cannot fully represent the sect, so they must fight with all their might!"

"Besides, they have many resources supported by the Earthly Immortal Alliance."

"Just like the previous wars, even though we sent our forces to participate in the war, apart from some of the most basic cultivation resources, we didn't get any of the divine mineral resources at all!"

"We help them fight, and if they win, all the benefits will be theirs."

"Tell me, why should we send people to fight?" Another old man spoke up next to him.

Although these eleven forces of the Five Elements Sect are all nominally affiliated with the Five Elements Sect, they are actually more like independent small sects.

Within a small sect, there are many subdivided forces, including family lineages, master-disciple lineages, and individual cultivator lineages, etc.

The forces are complicated and intertwined.

Therefore, whenever there is an invasion by foreign enemies, they usually defend themselves. On weekdays, they are self-sufficient and keep all the resources to themselves.

This has become a fixed operating mode, and it has been used for countless years.

The reason for this is that the Five Elements Sect is really too big.

It is so big that it is no longer easy to use new or more suitable systems to constrain and change it.

On the same island, some are so poor that they can barely make ends meet, while others are extremely rich. The resource disparity is so great that it is unimaginable.

In this case, it is naturally difficult to make a one-size-fits-all decision.

Even if the sect unified the dispatch and distributed war resources, it would be useless because the island owners of the inland sea islands were basically very wealthy.

He has basically everything he needs, including magical weapons, precious talismans, elixirs for cultivation, etc.

Under such circumstances, how could they possibly value those few war resources?

Who would make a move if there is no attractive benefit?
"This time is different. There are too many invading alien races, and they are too powerful. We need your help." At this time, Elder White Eyebrows interrupted.

How could they not know about the sect's shortcomings?

People in the outer sea want help from those in the inner sea, which can relieve some of the pressure.

But when it comes to distributing those precious resources in the outer sea, they are unwilling to give them to others.

Because the inland sea is inherently rich, the monks in the outer sea have a natural hatred of the rich.

In addition, even if they win this war, a large number of monks in the outer sea will die, and they will need resources to recuperate.

As a result, a very embarrassing situation arose: too many rare resources were given, but people in the outer seas were unwilling to accept them.

If you give too little, people in the inner sea will look down on you.

After all, they traveled tens of millions of miles to come to your territory and help you fight, but they could only get a few hairs and couldn't even get a sip of soup.

Naturally I would be unhappy!
My goodness, these stingy guys actually want me to work for you for free?
None of the doors!
Even if we want to reconcile, we cannot, because a 50-50 split is simply impossible.

One wants more, the other wants it all, both sides think they are right
This is the difficulty of the Five Elements Sect now. There are too many disciples, and the original system has been implemented for tens of thousands of years. It is naturally very difficult to turn around now!
"We accept your Tianji Palace's investigation!"

"Those little guys have dirty hands and feet. It's good for them to be punished and suffer a little loss."

"As for rushing to help from offshore, that is also impossible!"

"Don't use nonsense like the sects are one to fool people."

"You and I both know that with the Immortal Weapon Ancestor here, we will never be truly threatened with our lives!"

A hunchbacked old man spoke, his eyes opened and closed, with blazing black and white energy lingering in between.

The momentum is terrifying!

He heard the hidden meaning of this conversation, which was to force them to give in and let the forces in the inner sea join the war.

But the system passed down from ancient times is that whoever's family is robbed will deal with it themselves.

Because the Five Elements Sect is so huge, so huge that just traveling from east to west and across the north and south by teleportation array would take at least several months!

It is conceivable how much trouble it would cause if a large number of monks were sent to participate in the war.

"Unless you ask them to give up the sacred mineral resources."

"Impossible!" Venerable Yulong frowned and said coldly.

The divine mineral resources are one of the main materials for refining spiritual weapons, and are also one of the few top treasures that can be directly exchanged for the essence of the five elements. This is definitely a very important resource for practitioners in the outer sea.

It is also one of the few precious internal resources.

Once it is given out, it will become very difficult for the cultivators in the middle three realms in the outer sea to practice.

After all, the output of the Five Elements Essence is only a little bit each year, and it cannot be satisfied by the Five Elements Sect alone.

How can we meet the spiritual needs of so many disciples?

Therefore, the magical mineral resources on the offshore islands have become the top priority.

If you want them to let go, all their subordinates must be killed!

After all, the casualties among his forces are just a number and they can be recovered in a few years.

"Then let them fight on their own!"

"Beat them until they bow their heads, beat them until they admit defeat, beat them until they are willing to ask us for help!" said another old man calmly.

At this point, they also understood what the Tianji Palace meant, which was to ask them to send people to the open sea to help.

The so-called cleanup now seems to be just a huge cover-up.

An excuse.

An excuse to force them to give in!

"Don't you old guys have any fellowship?"

"Is it so difficult for you to send your forces to join the war?" Venerable Yulong asked, feeling a little depressed.

They were originally from the same sect, but now they are fighting endlessly for a few resources for cultivation. Even when facing a powerful enemy, they are still like this!
This made him angry!
"Long, stop being so pretentious!"

"Aren't you, the members of the Tianji Palace, just sitting back and enjoying the fruits of others' labor?"

"What qualifications do you have to blame me?"

"Don't forget, the resources you need for your practice were also obtained from us!"

"If we don't talk about interests with those people overseas, how can we talk about feelings with them?" Someone sneered with disdain on his face.

Top-level spiritual practice forces like the Five Elements Sect are different from the mortal dynasties in the secular world.

Moreover, the monks are not an army, so there is no such thing as fighting to the death.

Ultimately, everyone is doing this for future practice.

The same goes for the sea tribe. What should they do if there are not enough resources in the tribe to go around?
To start a war is either to rob others or to consume the extra members.

Since ancient times, all racial wars have broken out due to these two reasons.

Resources are the foundation of everything!

The owner of the island in the outer sea can simply abandon the island and throw all the territory to foreign races!
But they were reluctant to leave and wanted to keep that territory.

In the name of justice, they are bound morally by the unity of the sect. How ridiculous is it?

It is no exaggeration to say that throughout the entire Five Elements Sect, even if there are more alien races invading, they only need to abandon those islands and hide in the Five Finger Mountain.

You will naturally be invincible!
If the true immortals don’t come out, who can do anything to them?

In the final analysis, it is still a struggle for resources, a struggle for interests, and a struggle for factions!
"Long, among the factions within your Tianji Palace, aren't you the one who advocates war and bloodshed? The old man with white eyebrows is in charge of the Palace Master of General Affairs and the rules; and the four divisions of ghosts and monsters are responsible for exploring the outside world?"

"My Inland Sea Islands are only suitable for the rules of the old man with white eyebrows. Your pro-war philosophy is not suitable for us!" Another powerful figure spoke.

What was originally a cleanup operation of the Wanxinghai Islands has now become a dispute over interests.

For the former, you just need to deal with the tail and be a little more honest, and you can get away with it.

But the latter would shake the foundation of their existence, and no one would agree to it!

"I will also deal with those people in the outer sea!"

"As for the sacred mineral resources, I will distribute them reasonably according to the forces you sent out and the number of alien races killed."

"When the time comes, the forces under your command can go to the ancestor of the immortal weapon to exchange them on their own." Venerable Yulong narrowed his eyes slightly and still made a certain compromise.

Because he wanted to see a strong Five Elements Sect, not a divided Five Elements Sect.

"not enough!"

"I said, what we want is a share of the sacred mineral resources!" the blood shadow said coldly.

"Blood ghost, don't be greedy!" The demeanor of Venerable Long was majestic, with lightning jumping in his heart, staring at the front.

"It's not that we are greedy, but that the Tianji Palace has a crooked butt, is unstable, and is unfair."

"Just take care of the things that are your business. As for other things, don't worry about them!" The blood energy in the Blood Shadow Master was surging. He showed no weakness and confronted the enemy head-on.

"Are you teaching me how to do things?" Yulong's eyes looked straight ahead, and a divine power slowly gathered.

"If you don't understand, why not teach you?" Venerable Blood Shadow sneered.

Be it quarreling or fighting, everyone seems to be able to do it.

At this point, retreat is impossible!

"Good! Good! Good!" The murderous aura permeated Venerable Yulong and could not be suppressed at all. The divine power in his eyes condensed into substance!
"Don't take yourself too seriously, Long!"

"Your Tianji Palace is just one of the twelve forces of my Five Elements Sect. There is no difference between you and me. Don't order us around in that commanding tone!"

"You have to know that others may be afraid of you, but I am not!"

Venerable Blood Shadow stood up, with a strange scarlet light emanating from his body. He had an alarming murderous aura that rose and fell like waves, and was extremely intimidating.
