Lonely Immortal

At this point, Zhang Zhiwen roughly understood why the Immortal Alliance existed. In fact, it was a way for the ten major immortal sects to seize the resources of Tianshui Fairyland. This seemed to be no different from Feixian City. The family alliance in Feixian City was the same. In order to prevent small sects or independent cultivators from becoming powerful, they firmly grasped the resources in their hands. Just like this Immortal Alliance, it was called the inclusion of some chosen sons of heaven into the Immortal Alliance, but in fact, it was to control all these potential cultivators.

The Immortal Alliance gave these cultivators some so-called status and even arranged them into the ten major immortal sects, becoming so-called direct disciples or core disciples, but in fact, these cultivators only got some false names and some insignificant benefits, but in this way, these cultivators were firmly controlled by the Immortal Alliance. This method was really clever!

But in fact, these cultivators actually got nothing, and they had no way to freely improve their strength, and eventually gradually disappeared. The cultivators supported by the ten major immortal gates were different. They enjoyed the best treatment, with the endorsement of Jindan masters and the paving of the ten major immortal gates. They rose all the way, they occupied high positions, wantonly seized the resources they needed, and even could unscrupulously suppress other cultivators without backgrounds!

Zhang Zhiwen didn't think there was anything strange about this. Aren't most things in this world like this? It's just that Zhang Zhiwen hadn't thought too much about this before, and he was also blinded by the so-called immortal land. In addition, the Xuandan Sect was in danger, so he had to accept the experience of participating in the heavenly selection, and then he had to become a disciple of the Immortal Alliance.

However, the final result is still very realistic. No matter whether it is based on luck or real ability, if there is no backer, then in the Immortal Alliance, it is just a discarded child. This may be more in line with Zhang Zhiwen's understanding of this world. Brother Zhao in front of him is a very typical example. He broke through the 30th floor of Daoyi Mountain two hundred years ago and obtained the token of the first-class disciple of the Immortal Alliance. He was also a brilliant talent at that time, shocking everyone. Even Shi Wuyin and others were not as good as him. At that time, Shi Wuyin and others had just built their foundation, but Lao Zhao was already a powerful figure. He won the first place in the Daoyi Mountain experience!

At that time, Lao Zhao was extremely successful, and his sect, which was a medium-sized sect, became a well-known existence overnight because of him. At that time, he was really able to get whatever he wanted. All the cultivators of the same period knew Lao Zhao's reputation, including Lin Zhiping. At that time, Lin Zhiping had only barely broken through to the tenth level of Daoyi Mountain, and Lin Zhiping only got the status of a third-class disciple. At that time, how could Lao Zhao even look at Lin Zhiping? In Lao Zhao's eyes, Lin Zhiping was nothing!

But time has passed, and things are unpredictable. When Lao Zhao came to the Immortal Alliance, he found that this place was completely different from what he imagined. It was almost impossible for him to improve his status by completing some tasks, because the good tasks and good resources had long been taken away by others, and he could not complete some tasks that were almost impossible for foundation-building cultivators. Those tasks looked very tempting, but in fact only Jindan masters had the opportunity to complete them. Because of this, Lao Zhao could not improve his status for a long time, and even once he was demoted to the level of a second-class disciple. After being demoted, it was even more difficult to accept tasks, which was even more miserable!

But Lin Zhiping was different. He didn't have to complete any tasks. He could easily climb up quickly with the help of Lin Bingzheng, a Jindan master, from the third-class disciple to the position of the master. This position was also the highest position that Lin Zhiping could climb to, because the position of the master was not something that Lin Zhiping or Lin Bingzheng could covet. It was already decided by the top level of the ten major immortal sects!

Being treated unfairly, Lao Zhao also thought about leaving the Immortal Alliance or quitting the Immortal Alliance, but in fact, it was completely impossible. Once you enter the Immortal Alliance, you can't quit, otherwise you will be regarded as a traitor, and then you will be wanted and hunted!

This is equivalent to getting on a pirate ship. It is impossible to get off. Therefore, the ten major immortal sects are also quite cunning. They have incorporated all the cultivators with potential into the Immortal Alliance, and then suppressed and restricted them in various aspects, making these originally promising cultivators directly become mediocre existences. In this way, the ten major immortal sects can control the Tianshui Fairyland more firmly. Otherwise, once these potential cultivators increase in number and those medium-sized sects develop, wouldn’t that threaten the status of the ten major immortal sects?

This calculation is not bad, and many potential monks don't know these things at all. They thought that after entering the Immortal League, they would reach the sky in one step, and they would be able to skyrocket in the future. In fact, it was just the opposite. After entering the Immortal League, if there is no backer, there will be no background , that was the beginning of the tragedy, and Lao Zhao is a living example. After more than two hundred years, he is still a first-class disciple, and his cultivation is still the eighth level of foundation building, and he has only barely improved to one level. He's only over thirty, almost as tall as two There were not many changes a hundred years ago, because he had no resources at all. It would be good if he could barely maintain his status as a first-class disciple. If he could not maintain his status as a first-class disciple, then his sect would be downgraded, and the consequences could be imagined. You know, Zhang Zhiwen also I have a deep understanding, just like the Xuandan Sect, once Zhang Zhiwen is demoted, it will be difficult for Zhang Zhiwen himself to protect himself, and the Xuandan Sect will not be able to maintain its status as the first sect. Wan Jizong is eyeing it and will definitely replace the Xuandan Sect, and the consequences will be unimaginable. .

I have to say that these top ten immortal sects are really insidious and vicious, even more vicious than the practices of Feixian City. Feixian City is not capable of controlling all the powerful casual cultivators, but the top ten immortal sects of Tianshui Wonderland Then he spared no effort to bring all the powerful casual cultivators into the scope of surveillance, and trapped them firmly in the Immortal Alliance.

Of course, those families in Feixian City are not good people. It's not that they don't want to do this, but they don't have the ability. But the top ten sects in Tianshui Fairyland are different. They have this ability, so of course they will do this. Do!

This is a very realistic and cruel thing, and Zhang Zhiwen is no stranger to this. Therefore, after hearing these words of Lao Zhao, he did not have much reaction. It seemed that the world was like this, but Lao Zhao did not expect that Zhang Zhiwen actually So calm, because when When he learned all this, he almost went crazy. Therefore, Lao Zhao looked at Zhang Zhiwen with admiration and said: "Brother Zhang, I don't think you are very anxious about this. You are so calm and collected." , I’m much better than I was back then!”

Zhang Zhiwen didn't expect that Lao Zhao would praise him at this time, so Zhang Zhiwen just smiled lightly, and then said: "It doesn't matter whether you are in a hurry or not, so what are you doing in a hurry? By the way, Brother Zhao, can we really say that? Is there no other way?"

"Haha, of course it's not completely impossible, but it's very difficult..." Old Zhao showed a hint of bitterness, and then started to say something to Zhang Zhiwen.

Zhang Zhiwen listened quietly to Lao Zhao's words. He was no longer anxious, because his personality was like this. The more anxious he was about something, the calmer he would be. As the saying goes, urgent matters should be dealt with later.

Soon, Zhang Zhiwen understood what Lao Zhao said.

It turns out that the rules of the Immortal Alliance are not impeccable. Of course, if there are no troubles in the Immortal Alliance itself, it is probably really impeccable. But this is not the case in the Immortal Alliance. In other words, the top ten immortal sects or the Tianshui Wonderland are not without crisis.

There are a large number of monsters and monsters in Tianshui Fairyland. This is the first time Zhang Zhiwen has heard about this, because he has never seen a monster in Tianshui Fairyland for so many years, let alone a monster, but But Lao Zhao said: "That's because of our existence, otherwise how could Tianshui Wonderland not even see a single monster? Also, those monsters are not actually real monsters, they are just some zombies, those The zombies are very tall..."

After Lao Zhao described it, Zhang Zhiwen finally knew about such a thing, and he also knew about the so-called ancient battlefield, and this ancient battlefield seemed to have been mentioned by Shi Wuyin and others.

This so-called ancient battlefield is located close to the Endless Sea, and over there, Tianshui Fairyland has built an extremely broad defense line to prevent the invasion of various monsters from the Endless Sea, as well as all kinds of monsters from the bottom of the sea. Zombie monsters, these zombie monsters are just like the ice zombies Zhang Zhiwen has seen before. They are very tall and seem to be ancient giants.

Therefore, the Immortal Alliance needs to send a large number of monks to guard the defense line and fight these monsters and monsters for a long time. It is more important to send them. If you just send some ordinary monks, it may not be very effective, because These monsters are all based on foundation cultivation, those The monsters are all above the level of Foundation Establishment, and there are not many sects with Foundation Establishment monks, such as the Xuan Dan Sect. , as for the small sects, there are almost no foundation-building monks.

Then only the top ten immortal sects are left, but the top ten immortal sects do not want to sacrifice their own monks. You must know that fighting with these monsters on the battlefield will kill people, so of course they are not willing to do so. Therefore, they can send strong and The only place where powerful monks seem to be is the Immortal Alliance.

But after all, this kind of thing is not easy to force, and the middle-level sects are not stupid. It also involves many complicated relationship backgrounds. For example, Wan Jizong has Lin Bingzheng’s backer behind him. So just imagine, don’t there be some things behind other middle-level sects? Got a backer?

Therefore, it is very difficult to force monks to go to the ancient battlefield. If a bad move even causes chaos, then the top ten immortal sects can only induce them to gain benefits. In other words, they can provide relatively generous treatment and attract powerful people. Monks go to ancient battlefields to fight monsters and monsters.

Then, this is an opportunity. At least in Lao Zhao's view, it was because of this opportunity that he barely kept his status as a first-class disciple, because the treatment given by the Immortal League was pretty good, but the risk was also extremely high. There were many monks who went to the ancient battlefield with him, but now there are not many who can survive.

Speaking of this, Old Zhao was very sad, and Zhang Zhiwen also understood how much suffering he had experienced over the years. This evil Immortal Alliance really didn't take these potential monks seriously!

"So, like Lin Zhiping and others, they probably won't go to the ancient battlefield?" Zhang Zhiwen suddenly asked, because he was just curious. After all, the ancient battlefield should require a lot of monks, and it is impossible to rely solely on old people. A monk like Zhao.

Sure enough, Lao Zhao laughed disdainfully, and then said: "Of course they will go, they just go through the motions, pretend, and then come back swaggering to get the credit, so that they can be promoted so quickly! Otherwise, just by relying on The golden elixir masters behind them may not be able to improve their Immortal Alliance status so quickly!"

When Zhang Zhiwen heard this, he understood. Sure enough, the secular way is also feasible here. In the secular world, isn't it the same for some children of aristocratic families? Isn't it just relying on the background and identity, and then going to the army for some experience, and then claiming to have led soldiers and fought in the war, and then directly promoted the identity, but aren't the soldiers who are the most unlucky to die the most? Aren't those soldiers just children from poor families?

But this is the way the world is. If those children from poor families don't become soldiers, I'm afraid they won't even have food to eat. However, these children from aristocratic families who are superior, they have not exerted any effort, but they have received the most honors and treatment. Is there any fairness in this world? That is simply the biggest joke in the world!

"Oh, there is no way. Who makes us have no backing? Of course, some people even sell their bodies. Needless to say, those kind of people are too cheap. I, Zhao, am extremely contemptuous!" Old Zhao suddenly mentioned it again! Such words left Zhang Zhiwen speechless.

But Zhang Zhiwen naturally knew that this kind of thing happened. Some men were simply wasting their lives and serving those military masters. It was extremely disgusting to think about it. Of course, there must be some women as well. There must be no shortage of them in this Immortal Alliance. There is such a female nun.

"But having said that, the only place in the Immortal League where it is easier to get a chance to rise is the ancient battlefield. That is the place where you have the chance to become a master. Of course, that is said, but the difficulty is simply unimaginable. Look, To be promoted from a first-class disciple to a leader, you need 10,000 reputations. That is 10,000 reputations, which is equivalent to the value of 100,000 high-grade spiritual stones. To be promoted to a leader, you need 100,000 reputations. , and the Master has a reputation of one million! ..."

When Lao Zhao mentioned this, his eyes widened and his mouth opened wide. Obviously, this status improvement is not that simple, and can even be said to be extremely difficult.

However, Zhang Zhiwen noticed one thing, that is, fame seems to be comparable to spiritual stones. Can fame be purchased with spiritual stones?

When Old Zhao saw him asking such a question, he immediately looked at him like a fool, and then said: "What are you thinking about? If spirit stones can buy fame, then those people from the top ten immortal sects would have bought them long ago, so why bother to complete any tasks? ? Do you think they are short of money?"

When Zhang Zhiwen heard this, he immediately felt that it made sense, and Lao Zhao added: "But having said that, this spiritual stone cannot be exchanged for reputation points, but the reputation points can still be exchanged for spiritual stones, but who can use the hard-earned reputation? Is it worth exchanging spiritual stones?”
