My clan is super powerful

Countless thoughts flashed through Zhang Zhi's mind, but a look of surprise appeared on his face. He turned to the classmate next to him and said, "How is this possible?"

"I just feel that I have only been cultivating for a short time and am not qualified to arrange things for Senior Yuan Tian, ​​who is a half-step God Realm senior who has made great contributions to the human race."

"Therefore, I suggest that His Majesty go and talk to Professor Confucius or Zhuangzi about this matter, and ask those two to arrange the position of inspector for Him."

"How could it be a refusal to allow Senior Yuan Tian to become an inspector?"

The man paused for a moment after hearing Zhang Zhi's words, then immediately realized what he meant and smiled, "Professor Zhang Zhi, your idea is good."

“We all know that Yuan Tian is the most stubborn conservative.”

"Moreover, they love to take advantage of their age and seniority."

"He is one of the representatives of the conservative forces, while your position as the inspector of the Qi Refiner's cultivation path is the most well-known position among the reformists."

"If He really wants the position of inspector, He will definitely need to change allegiance first."

"If you want to switch allegiance, just go directly to Professor Confucius."

"But instead of seeking out Professor Confucius or Professor Zhuangzi, He came directly to you. He must be using the position of Inspector, which allows him to gain a lot of merit without changing his allegiance."

"Wanting both? How wishful thinking!"

"Moreover, he has definitely made up his mind that if you don't give him the position of inspector, he will definitely make a fuss about it and accuse you of disrespecting your elders."

"But now, with this, His previous plans have been perfectly thwarted by you."

"He's suffering in silence, like someone swallowing a bitter pill."

After a pause, the person continued, "Actually, there are quite a few people who don't like His behavior in the fantasy world."

"There are quite a few people who don't want him to get the position of inspector from you."

"So I think that if you directly reject Him, the consequences might not be very serious. After all, we are all eyes."

After saying this, he winked at Zhang Zhi.

After hearing his words, Zhang Zhi was slightly taken aback, and suddenly realized something.

Indeed, the reforms led by Professor Zhuangzi and his colleagues will face considerable resistance because they affect the interests of many families and powerful groups.

However, reforms inevitably have beneficiaries.

Moreover, the group of people who benefited from the reforms led by Professor Zhuangzi was far larger than the group that resisted them.

In other words, even though he had just bluntly rejected Yuan Tian's request, many people would be very dissatisfied with his actions.

However, many people will also applaud this.

The number of people who applaud and cheer far exceeds the number of people who are dissatisfied with themselves.

However, these people are not very powerful at the moment, so they don't have much say and their voices are not loud.

This is probably why Professor Confucius directly sent a message to him, instructing him to refuse Yuan Tian.

Because He believed that even if He directly rejected Yuan Tian, ​​the consequences would be minimal.

Those who offended him were those who already disliked him.

So what if we offend those people?
At this moment, Zhang Zhi suddenly realized that the path to sainthood arranged by Professor Zhuangzi and Professor Confucius actually concealed another purpose:
By using the path of achieving sainthood through merit, a group of commoners and cultivators from the lower classes will be cultivated, thereby weakening the voice of the previously vested interest groups within the human race.

Or, to put it another way, to cultivate a new group of vested interests, except that this group represents the interests of the largest number of low-level cultivators in the human race.

At this moment, Zhang Zhi finally understood that even if the half-step God Realm expert who came to see him today was not a representative of the stubborn forces, but a supporter of the reformists, as long as he came from a family, Professor Confucius and Professor Zhuangzi would not give him the position of Inspector.

Even if he agrees, Professor Confucius will most likely make him withdraw the appointment.

This is because the vast majority of the spots in this path to sainthood through merit are reserved for highly qualified cultivators who come from humble backgrounds.

Liu Wanwan and Liu Xiaoxiao were special cases. Because of their relationship with him, and the fact that their families were only slightly better than commoners, Zhuangzi and Confucius didn't say anything.

After figuring this out, Zhang Zhi sighed inwardly with a touch of helplessness, thinking to himself that all beings who have lived for tens of thousands of years are indeed shrewd and cunning.

Moreover, those guys like to keep their plans secret.

If my classmate hadn't pointed it out today, it might have taken me a long time to realize the true intentions of Professor Zhuangzi and his colleagues.

The process of discovering the ultimate goal of their plans is, in their view, a process of self-cultivation.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zhi shook his head helplessly.

...

Perhaps because Zhang Zhi refused the veteran half-step God Realm expert Yuan Tian, ​​everything was peaceful for the next two days, and no one came to him again for the position of Inspector.

After returning from the library that day, Zhang Zhi finished refining the cards early and prepared to enter the Spirit Treasure Small World.

The time for the establishment of the demon kingdom within the Lingbao Small World is almost here.

After discovering through the Boundary Pearl that the Demon Kingdom was almost ready, Zhang Zhi moved his mind and entered the Spirit Treasure Small World.

The founding ceremony of the demon race was extremely grand, with all the cultivators above the legendary realm gathered in the demon race's capital.

Moreover, in order to hold this ceremony, the demon race built a pyramid-like structure in the very center of the kingdom, which was three thousand feet in circumference and more than three thousand feet high.

Surrounding that peculiar building was a huge plaza, and on the outermost edge of the plaza, the demon race had built a large number of new buildings.

Similarly, because Zhang Zhi, the master of this world, will also be attending, the ceremony is of an extremely high standard.

Within the Lingbao Small World, all cultivators at the Divine Realm level, including Houtu and Fanglong, attended the grand ceremony after receiving their invitations.

To entertain the distinguished guests attending the ceremony, the demon race prepared a large amount of purple and yellow grade supplies.

Of course, since this founding ceremony was the first of its kind within the Lingbao Small World, it couldn't be perfect. Zhang Zhi had been pondering for the past two days whether to invite cultivators from the Qi Refining Small World to attend and witness the founding of the Jin Kingdom.

But after weighing the options for a long time, he finally gave up on the idea.

Although he only has twelve countries with national titles under his name, in principle, in order to show his importance to these countries and to put pressure on other races within the Lingbao Small World, he should have cultivators from other countries attend this founding ceremony.

However, at present, the strongest cultivators in the five kingdoms of Xia, Shang, Zhou, Qin, and Han are only at the low-level divine power realm. Cultivators at this level cannot actually bring much shock to the Lingbao Small World.

Therefore, Zhang Zhi ultimately gave up the idea of ​​inviting cultivators from the five countries to attend the ceremony.

However, it is feasible to send a few cultivators to represent the Qi Refining Small World to attend the ceremony, rather than sending cultivators from the five kingdoms to manage it.

As for who to send?
Needless to say, it's Fang Yun.

In order to make the people in the Lingbao Small World feel a bit of pressure, Zhang Zhi planned to open the eyes of the cultivators within the Lingbao Small World.

After glancing at the Qi Refining Small World through the Boundary Pearl and discovering that Fang Yun was ready, Zhang Zhi returned to the main world with a thought.

In the closed-door secret chamber area, a portal between two worlds was opened. After watching Fang Yun and the others enter the Lingbao Small World through the world gate, Zhang Zhi glanced at the enormous world gate that had been opened this time, and with a thought, entered the Lingbao Small World.

At this time, all preparations for the Demon Kingdom in the Lingbao Small World were completed.

Zhang Zhi pondered for a moment, then carefully surveyed the area below. After discovering that the elephant demon was inside the council hall of the demon kingdom, he flashed and appeared in front of the elephant demon.

The elephant demon, who had been waiting for Zhang Zhi to appear, immediately bowed and said upon seeing Zhang Zhi, "Elephant greets Your Excellency."

"Your Majesty, all the demons in the Demon Kingdom are ready."

He glanced around, nodded to the elephant demon, and said, "Since you've all made preparations, proceed according to your original plan."

Upon hearing Zhang Zhi's words, the elephant demon immediately replied, "As Your Majesty commands."

After saying this, the elephant demon did not rush to announce the start of the ceremony. Instead, he turned to a few demon cultivators not far away and whispered a few instructions. Then he looked up to confirm the time.

After the demon cultivators returned and whispered something to the elephant demon, He looked up again to confirm the time, then got up and strode outside the main hall, shouting to the countless demons outside: "The auspicious time has arrived, the founding ceremony of the Jin Kingdom of the demon race officially begins."

All the demons were overjoyed upon hearing Xiang's words.

All the demons present knew that the ceremony had been prepared long ago, and the reason it had been delayed was to wait for the noble master of the world.

Now that the ceremony has begun, it naturally signifies that the esteemed master of the world has arrived at the founding ceremony of the Demon Kingdom.

As long as the esteemed master of this world arrives, the establishment of the demon race's kingdom will be secure, and the demon race's position within the small world will also be secure.

From now on, within the Lingbao Small World, the demon race will no longer be a vassal race that can be summoned and dismissed at will, as before. Instead, they will be valued by the noble master of the world, and will even be the only race within the Small World to be granted a national title by the noble master of the world!
Most of the demons present had experienced the era when they were ruled by various races. After confirming that the noble world master of the demon race had truly appeared, they were already moved to tears.

The demon race has been waiting for this moment for far too long.

As the elephant announced the start of the ceremony, the demon race, which had been preparing for this moment for several months, began to operate at full speed.

The first step of the ceremony was naturally welcoming the guests. A large number of demons were responsible for welcoming the guests and invited the high-level cultivators from other forces within the Lingbao Small World who came to watch the ceremony to the huge viewing platform specially built for this founding ceremony.

The entire viewing platform was built around that enormous building.

The viewing platform was made entirely of white jade, and at intervals there was a three-zhang square white jade hall, each corresponding to a cultivator at the weak divine power realm.

As the cultivators who came to watch the ceremony entered the viewing platform, a large number of demon cultivators began to gather in the square surrounding the huge building.

The welcoming process was a bit long, but Zhang Zhi didn't find it boring at all, because each visiting guest was greeted with a chant. He also took this opportunity to go through all the cultivators at the Divine Realm within the Lingbao Small World.

When the welcoming ceremony was about halfway through, many people suddenly turned to look into the distance.

After seeing what appeared on the horizon, many people showed strange expressions.

The elephant demon who was with Zhang Zhi in the main hall naturally learned the news immediately.

Upon learning of the uninvited guests in the distance, He apologized to Zhang Zhi and prepared to go out to see what was going on and why the cultivators below had said that uninvited guests had arrived.

Just as he was apologizing to the esteemed master of the world, Zhang Zhi looked up at Him, glanced into the distance, and then said, "I forgot to tell you."

"Those are some little guys from another world below me."

“After they learned that your country had been established, they said they wanted to come and witness the ceremony, so I asked them to send some people over.”

Upon hearing the Venerable One's words, the elephant demon suddenly realized something, thinking to himself, "I thought all the high-level cultivators in the small world had come to witness the ceremony, so how could there be any uninvited guests?"

So, those people were cultivators from another world of Your Excellency.

Those people have come from afar, so I must instruct my subordinates to treat them well.

At this moment, a commotion suddenly broke out outside. Xiang, who was unaware of what was going on, was puzzled, but he did not rush to go out. Instead, he said to Zhang Zhi, "Your Excellency, the cultivators who are receiving us below do not know the situation and may have some misunderstandings."

"I will now personally go and bring in the distinguished guests from your other world who have come to witness the ceremony."

Zhang Zhi nodded slightly to Him: "Go."

"However, they are not exactly VIPs. Treat them the same way you would treat other cultivators who come to observe the ceremony."

Xiang agreed to Zhang Zhi's words, but in his heart he took it even more seriously.

After all, those who came to observe must be extraordinary, for the esteemed masters of this world to agree to allow them to cross over and observe.

It's just unknown whether those who came to observe this time are humans or demons.

With these questions in mind, Xiang walked out of the main hall.

After leaving the main hall, he found that many of the demons around him were staring in astonishment at the sky not far away, and many others were discussing something.

This situation puzzled the elephant even more. Before it could even get angry, it followed the gazes of the surrounding demons and looked up at the sky. Then, it saw a scene that made its pupils shrink. (End of Chapter)
