Taoist Master Xuanhuang

Chapter 494 Same people but different fates

The Hundred Arts Competition has begun.

Although there are hundreds of arts, the most eye-catching ones are always the most popular ones.

For example, in the alchemy competition, under the premise that all the cultivators in Qingyun Mountain are of the first level, the competition is very exciting.

If they were to be fought one by one, with 100 people and 100 skills, the scale would be tens of thousands of people, which would be difficult to hold in full swing no matter what.

So at the end of the first day, only the top fifty were selected.

When the first day ended, the entire cultivation world was in a heated discussion.

Although I cannot come to Qingyun Mountain to observe it in person, the Merit Hall will not do anything without making money.

Therefore, there is also an online method to broadcast it through the dream world.

The entire world of cultivation can watch the competition attentively in dreams. Although each competition will collect considerable points, people still flock to it.

"Wrong, wrong, so that's how it is, so that's how it is."

A quiet mountain, this is the headquarters of a sect.

The head monk, Taoist Wang, is a first-level extraordinary cultivator and also a talisman master.

The entire sect has nearly a thousand people, and they are the top existences who can influence the area within a radius of ten thousand miles.

Although it looks weak and there is only one extraordinary cultivator, Master Wang, in the entire sect, this is not Qingyun Mountain, or even Nanshi or Haidai Province.

It is a remote province.

Or it is a remote area in a remote province. In such a remote place, having an extraordinary monk is the strongest existence.

Taoist Wang is very concerned about this competition, as it is his only chance to learn about the Qingyun Mountain Holy Land at the lowest cost.

It seems that it takes ten points to watch a game, but there are countless people like Master Wang who have saved up enough points just for this moment.

In remote areas, information is cut off, so there is no chance to learn the supreme Dharma of the Qingyun Mountain Holy Land.

For example, Master Wang was a cultivator who returned to his hometown from Nanshi. He established the Shenfu Sect in his hometown to protect all living beings.

The power of the talisman basically depends on your own understanding.

It’s not that there are no other ways to learn. For example, as long as you have a lot of points, you can go to the dream world to receive the dream engraving.

But that method requires a lot of points, at least Master Wang can't afford it.

Not only that, if you have points, you can also seek out experts for point-to-point or one-on-one instruction, and this can also be done in the dream world.

But it also requires a lot of points.

These are not things that Master Wang can learn.

Only in this Hundred Arts Competition will the masters show off their best skills in order to advance, and they dare not keep them for themselves.

The viewing fee of ten points is just affordable for monks in remote areas like Master Wang.

Just like at this moment, Taoist Wang’s hearty laughter spread throughout the Shenfu Sect.

The sect disciples were also smiling happily, knowing that the sect leader had gained something.

At the same time, they were also very eager. They had never entered the legendary dream world, let alone watch the Hundred Arts Competition in the dream world.

This has always been their dream, dreaming that they could also enter the dream world and learn and seek the truth in the dream world.

Too bad they didn't have that chance.

If one wants to enter the dream world, one must stay in the Qingyun Mountain Holy Land in the dream and be protected by the supreme Lord Shi Meng. Small cultivators like them in remote areas do not have this opportunity.

Some people are born in Rome, and this is an irrefutable truth even in this monastic age.

The practice they came into contact with was taught by the sect leader, Taoist Wang, and everything Taoist Wang taught was all they could come into contact with.

The methods they learn are not the three invincible methods, this is crucial.

In a remote area like this, if a cultivator wants to learn Taoism, he must first have a being who has comprehended the visualization diagrams of the three invincible methods.

After all, it takes points to go to the dream world to comprehend the visualization diagram, and they don’t have any points.

Therefore, one can only learn from the visualization diagrams presented by monks who have comprehended the visualization diagrams.

For example, the way that Taoist Master Wang teaches his disciples is that he presents the visualization pictures that he has comprehended, and then his disciples comprehend his visualization pictures.

This is the only way in remote areas.

This will result in the degree of comprehension depending entirely on the degree of comprehension of the monk who teaches it.

It's a mouthful, but that's the reality.

The visualization diagram of the three great treasures is so complex that it is impossible for an extraordinary cultivator to comprehend it fully.

What they call perfection is that they can practice cultivation, establish a causal relationship with the three great treasures, and practice cultivation, but it does not mean that they have truly realized perfection.

If the comprehension is complete, why should one spend points every once in a while to comprehend the real visualization diagram?

This is impossible.

Therefore, the master's level of enlightenment determines the apprentice's level of enlightenment.

Even if an apprentice is a genius, but the master he is observing is very ordinary, he can only comprehend and visualize ordinary diagrams.

This is a kind of transmission relationship, and its quality depends entirely on the degree of comprehension of the master's visualization diagram.

This largely determines why it is generally difficult for monks in remote areas to get started, practice, and make progress.

After becoming increasingly difficult, the gap between them and the cultivators from Qingyun Mountain widened.

However, this is the common situation for most monks in countless remote areas.

In addition, the methods they learned were not the three invincible methods, because the three invincible methods also had thresholds and required points to learn.

This is also not something they can learn.

For example, the Shenfu Sect's skills are a low-level skill that Wang Daoren spent a lot of points to buy. One advantage of this kind of skill is that after purchasing it from the Dream World or the Hall of Merit, it belongs to the individual.

You can teach it to as many people as you want. Unlike the three invincible methods, if you want to learn each level, you need points to go to the dream world to purchase and learn.

Wang Daoren could still handle it by himself, and even a few of his direct disciples could handle it, but he couldn't supply a sect of nearly a thousand people by himself, and make them comprehend the True Visualization Diagram and learn the three invincible methods.

They can only purchase some low-level skills within their own capabilities as the basic skills for the entire sect.

This is also a common situation, especially in remote areas.

Without a complete visualization diagram, the three invincible methods, or even any intermediate or advanced methods, the gap between them and the cultivators of Qingyun Mountain further widened.

It has reached a point where it cannot be repaired.

For example, it is said that it is the best among all the systems of true cultivation.

After that come the divine cultivators, weird cultivators, spiritual masters, and magic weapon cultivators, etc.

But they have never had such ability, and their strength is about the same as that of magic weapon monks, a little stronger but not much stronger.

This is the fundamental cause.

Not to mention some secret techniques, spells, elixirs, magical tools and talismans, they don't have them.

After all, it has been ten years and the differences have already emerged.

The entire Shenfu Sect regarded the Sect Master’s observation of the competition as an extremely important event.

The entire Shenfu Sect closed its mountain gate so as not to disturb the Sect Master’s studies.

"Listening to the sect leader's laughter, it seems that we have gained a lot. The rise of our Shenfu Sect is just around the corner." The monks under his command said from the bottom of their hearts.

Taoist Wang is nothing in Qingyun Mountain, and even in Nanshi, but here, he is the best in this area of ​​thousands of miles.

At least Master Wang has completed all the rituals, learned the three major methods, observed the true visualization diagram, and in the dream world he has the protection of Shi Meng, and can also summon the Void Sword. This is everything a complete true practice should have.

There is a world of difference between a monk who has this set of skills and a monk who doesn't.

"Hey, when can we enter the dream world?" a young monk sighed.

"Okay, stop dreaming. Is the dream world something that people like us can covet? The protection of the dream world is difficult to say, and it is also easy to say. You just need to go to the Qingyun Mountain Holy Land to leave the dream world, but can we go there?" said an older cultivator.

"No? There are two ways to go to Qingyun Mountain. One is to have strong enough cultivation to cross thousands of mountains and rivers, and the other is to find the nearest teleportation array and spend a high amount of points to teleport there, but we have neither of these." The young cultivator said with a wry smile.

"It's good that you know it. Even if you have points, let me ask you, will you take the risk to go to Qingyun Mountain, or improve your cultivation?" asked the older man.

"Me? I..." The young monk pondered for a while and said, "I will first improve my cultivation."

"That's it, it's hard to do this even with the points. It's useless to think about these things. It's better to think about how to earn spirit stones." said the older monk.

Note that he was talking about spirit stones, not points.

Because, how can they deserve to own such high-end things as points?

Do you have an ID card?

No.

How can you have points if you don’t even have an identity card or a points card?

Points they had only heard of but never owned.

In the entire Shenfu Sect, the only one who has points is the Sect Master Wang Daoren.

The sects, forces and families in remote areas all use spirit stones as currency.

To put it bluntly, the entire sect provides support for a true practitioner with complete rituals.

No matter what they get, they will hand it over to the sect, and then it will be controlled by the sect leader like Master Wang, or sold in the dream world, or sold in person in big cities.

In short, they cannot have it.

The points people get after selling belong to Taoist Wang. Taoist Wang rewards them with elixirs, exercises, and ways of comprehending his visualization diagrams.

Therefore, such power can be regarded as the entire sect supporting one person.

That is their clan leader or patriarch.

It seems unfair, but it is fair.

Because there is no true practitioner like Taoist Wang, they don’t even have the chance to learn low-level skills, nor do they have the chance to observe the incomplete visualization diagrams.

There are more than a thousand people in the entire Shenfu Sect, but only less than a hundred of them can truly be called cultivators.

The remaining nine hundred people can only learn the martial arts techniques that have been eliminated by Qingyun Mountain.

That is the martial arts skills that Xuan Huang learned ten years ago, or the Qi training method of the Taoist temple.

They envied Master Wang here, but they didn't know that there were nine hundred other people who envied them, the monks.

Similarly, this is also a common situation among sects in remote areas.

When Xuan Huang first preached, he was so casual and generous. He emphasized that as long as someone had a destiny, one could learn the three invincible methods.

These people are different. Let alone the three invincible methods, even for the lower-level skills, they have to pay a sufficient price before the sect will test them.

Only after passing the test will they be taught the lower-level skills. Then they will be bound for life, fighting for the sect for the rest of their lives.

Everything you get must be contributed to the sect, and then the sect leader will give out rewards.

Even so, countless people flock to it.

After all, this is the only chance to change your destiny.

There is a future only if there is the first step. How can there be any future without the first step?

However, don’t say that monks like Master Wang are exploiting them.

They had no choice. They really couldn't afford to have so many disciples. If they had the ability, why would they come to these remote places? Wouldn't it be better to go to South City to make their own living?
There is no other way. They cannot survive in Nanshi, and even in the bigger cities there is no place for them to stand.

They can only come to such a remote place to support a sect.

While protecting this area, everything in this place provides for itself.

At least I have given the people in this area a chance to change their destiny, which is already a great favor.

The disciples were envious for a while, and only dispersed after the sect leader made no further moves, and they still had to keep an eye on the entire sect.

No accidents can disturb the sect master.

After they dispersed, they saw a group of outer disciples, that is, warriors and Qi cultivators who could only learn martial arts and Qi training. They seemed to have become much more balanced in an instant.

Not as good as the best, but better than the worst. At least I am a cultivator, right?
Compared to these outer disciples, I am already very lucky.

……

This situation is common in countless places.

The Hundred Arts Competition changes the fate of not only the Hundred Arts practitioners who participate in the competition.

There are also countless lower-level beings like Taoist Wang, who take advantage of this opportunity to learn from others and learn some secret methods that they have only heard of at the lowest cost.

Therefore, a Hundred Arts Competition is not only a grand event for practitioners of the Hundred Arts, but also an opportunity for practitioners in countless remote areas to improve themselves.

"Okay, okay, so that's how it is. I was so wrong before."

He is also the patriarch of a remote area.

He watched the competition of the Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation and the Puppet Competition and gained a lot from it.

The whole family was excited because of his excitement.

Family power is better, after all, they are their own people. As long as they have the ability to learn the three major methods and observe the three major treasures, the family power will do their best to train them.

After all, these tribesmen may be one's own children, brothers, sisters, etc.

There are some differences between it and the sect forces.

Moreover, if you look at the family clans in these remote areas, you will find that their clan leaders or clan masters all practice various arts, and each of them has a unique skill.

This is the foundation of their existence and the only way to gain points.

A cultivator who does not know all the arts does not even have the ability to form a family or a sect.

After all, without skills, one cannot steadily gain points. Without a stable way to gain points, how can one build power?

Those who have no skills are all independent practitioners and are even poorer.

Not to mention that they can catch weird things in exchange for points, it would be great if they could catch weird things, but how can they deserve to own such rare things as weird things?

As long as they know where something strange is, countless experts will gather there.

With so many experts trying to catch weird things, how could it be their turn?
Want to compete?
It's more like wanting to die.

This is not Qingyun Mountain, where the most naked rules of cultivators apply, and whoever is stronger gets everything.
