A life of clearness

Chapter 267 The Superior

"There are... so many?" Number One Under Heaven looked at Rong Qing suspiciously.

"Well, there is some useless information in it. I haven't had time to sort it out yet."

Rong Qing was also helpless. She had read it, understood it, and that was enough. She had never thought of organizing it specifically.

"How about I summarize it?"

“No need.” Number One Under Heaven shook his head. “I can read the jade slips faster than you. Plus, you may not be able to perceive some of the information due to your past experiences… I’d better read it myself.”

That's fine. Rong Qing nodded, then asked, "What should I do now?"

As for the mask recognizing its master, even though the Sword Master and the World's Number One provided double insurance, this thing was really weird, and Rong Qing didn't want to be careless, and didn't dare to be careless.

So she had to wait until Number One Under Heaven finished reading the jade slip before deciding whether to acknowledge him as her master.

After all, once the mask recognizes its master, it will be connected to the soul... It will cost a lot to take it off. Rong Qing suspected that even if he had the flower appearance technique, it would be difficult to keep the soul intact during such a process.

"You... just do what you need to do." Then came a series of questions: "Is your realm stable?" "How many Dao rhymes have you created?" "Can you master the existing Dao rhymes?" "Have you learned what you couldn't do before due to your realm?"

As if I didn't ask, Rong Qing immediately surrendered to a series of questions and began to sit cross-legged in meditation, entering a state of concentration.

Actually, she still needed to understand the changes in her body and soul, such as the spiritual platform inside the sea of ​​consciousness and the second floor built on the spiritual platform.

Number One Under Heaven picked up a piece of jade slips from the pile and began to read. Sensing the fluctuation of Rong Qing's spiritual power beside him, he was thoughtful... Although Rong Qing was still far from the genius cultivated by the Venerable Realm, he had a solid foundation as a cultivator. There was nothing he needed to correct. It must be said that this was a very worry-free thing.

What he had to do was to do everything he could to help Rong Qing fill in the gaps and try his best to catch up with those geniuses within a limited time. If he could roughly match them in basics... he would surely not be at a disadvantage when competing with those geniuses.

This is what the best person in the world thinks.

He had experienced the battle of the Honor Realm Sequence. Although he won in the end, he did not completely surpass all his opponents. "I wonder what level of cultivation my opponents in the past would have reached if they were still alive today..."

The competition for the Zunjie Sequence was extremely fierce back then. After billions of years, the cultivation world has prospered several times. The Zunjie forces will only be more experienced in cultivating geniuses, and many new methods will appear. And these new methods... are undoubtedly the world's number one knowledge blind spot. Thousands of troops are on a single-plank bridge, and one careless mistake will lead to elimination. He knew this truth, but now he can only hope that Rong Qing can perform well enough. Even if he can't win the sequence, he can be favored by the Zunjie and absorbed.

In fact, this is also the ending of most of the geniuses who participated in the sequence competition. No matter how outstanding you are, there is only one sequence in the end. In the process of competition, if you have excellent performance, you will be favored by some respected forces. Even if you can't become a sequence in the end, you can still be recruited. This is also the fate of most geniuses who failed in the competition for the sequence.

……

Even though Tian Xia No. 1 was thinking while reading the jade slip, his speed did not slow down at all. As he said, his reading speed was much faster than Rong Qing.

Almost as soon as he got a jade slip, he finished reading it and threw it aside. One hour was enough for him to finish reading all the jade slips and remember the contents firmly. The stronger the soul of a cultivator, the stronger his memory ability is, and the strength of the soul that is the best in the world is beyond doubt.

Rong Qing felt that she had just entered a state of meditation and was beginning to get familiar with her spiritual state when she was awakened by the number one in the world.

"Master, have you found anything?" Rong Qing asked immediately after opening her eyes.

"This Hades... is indeed powerful."

This sentence came out again from the number one person in the world, but the meaning behind it was completely different.

"I thought it was powerful at first because it could expand its influence across thirty-six spirit realms in just one Great World. Of course, it was extraordinary to be able to do this. But after reading this jade slip... it's no surprise that it could do this."

"This underworld technique relies on this mask, and its uniqueness also means that the underworld's power is incredibly strong in both cohesion and spread."

"I don't know if there are forces similar to the underworld in other spiritual realms, but at least before I took over the world's number one bow, I had never heard of a force similar to this model."

"The uniqueness of this mask lies in that it can transmit cultivation and life span. The superior can control all the cultivation and life span of the inferior. For the superior, this is a very beneficial advantage. But for the cultivation world, this practice of enslaving cultivators is okay for one or two, but what if it happens to a whole group? Wouldn't all the cultivators in the cultivation world be in danger? Therefore, all the forces in the cultivation world must unite to eliminate them."

"This will force these superiors to unite and fight back. Seizing territory is what they must do. Once they have their own territory, the seedlings born in their territory who can practice cultivation will become a huge source of students for them to supplement the inferiors."

"In addition, these superiors gathered together to form their own power structure."

Rong Qing nodded. Number One in the World was right.

According to the information left by Concubine Ji in the jade slip, in the underworld, the lower-ranking people have the least human rights, because they are equivalent to food and have no future. The upper-ranking people are the real members of the underworld.

"Merit. This is their hard currency in the underworld." Rong Qing said slowly. "Even spirit stones are not as powerful as merit."

"Because, in the underworld, there are too many things that cannot be purchased with spirit stones, but can only be exchanged with merit. And the amount of merit possessed also affects the status of the superior in the underworld."

"Use various methods to stimulate the superiors to earn merit. How can the power of the underworld not expand rapidly?!"

For example, higher-ranked superiors can exchange merit for more precious things, and can exchange ordinary resources at a lower price. These benefits make superiors flock to merit. And if the high-ranking officials of the underworld want to expand their power, they only need to release a large number of merit rewards to recruit a large number of participants.

In the eyes of this group of upper-level people who were madly trying to earn merit, this was a great opportunity that they must not let go of. Moreover, the external conquest also brought them the opportunity to obtain better-quality lower-level people. After all, in the original territory of the Hades, those good cultivation seedlings were fiercely fought over.
