My clan is super powerful

Zhang Zhi was unaware of the current situation of the human race on the Desolate Sky Continent. After reviewing the information transmitted by Professor Confucius's clone, his previously anxious heart finally settled down.

Now that Professor Confucius has made contact with the higher-ups of the human race, the conspiracies of those extremist organizations and cultivators on the Desolate Heaven Continent targeting the Spirit Treasure Small World have failed.

As long as the Lingbao Small World is not used as a base for extraterrestrial demons by the Desolate Heaven Continent, subsequent communication with the Desolate Heaven Continent will definitely be much more convenient.

The Desolate Sky Continent has existed for so long, and the lineages of many races have never been interrupted, so there must be a lot of valuable information within it.

As exchanges deepen in the future, we might even be able to learn about the origins of the Desolate Sky Continent.

This approach of treating an entire world region as a single continent is still quite instructive for Zhang Zhi.

After all, he had always wanted to turn the entire multiverse into a single continent.

If we were to transform the multiverse into a single continent based on the template of the Desolate Sky Continent, there would be both advantages and disadvantages.

Li is naturally an existence that possesses more cultivation than the ordinary world, reaching the upper limit of the multiverse, which can greatly enhance the multiverse's combat power when resisting invasion by external enemies.

The downside, of course, is that it will greatly weaken the ability of the multiverse to expand outwards, or to explore other multiverses.

Just like this Desolate Heaven Continent, there isn't a single Dao Integration Realm being who can maintain their Dao Integration Realm status outside of the Desolate Heaven Continent.

After gathering a lot of information about the great calamity, Zhang Zhi had a vague idea in his mind that the great calamity did not seem to have come from within the multiverse.

Or perhaps, some force corrupted those beings within the multiverse who aspired to break through to the level of a supreme god, forcing the multiverse to eliminate those who had already surpassed that level.

Regardless of the specific theory, that great catastrophe seems to be related to forces outside the multiverse.

Zhang Zhi believes that as the human race grows stronger and begins to frequently come into contact with realms above the God Realm, the human race will one day have to face that unknown power.

Therefore, He believes that if humanity develops to a certain point in the future, it may begin to explore the multiverse.

Of course, all of this is just his conjecture; the human race is only now beginning to venture into other regions of the world.

It's really too early to talk about exploring things beyond the multiverse at this point.

Pulling his wandering thoughts back, Zhang Zhi began to survey the entire small world.

There are still quite a few cultivators within the small world attempting to break through to the lower-level divine power realm.

However, this is not how one breaks through to the lower level of divine power. No new individuals at the lower level of divine power were added this time.

After circling around the small world, they discovered that the elephant demon was still inside Guangli Temple.

He and Yang Shi had been exchanging ideas about the Jin state and the Buddhist path for over a month.

Zhang Zhi couldn't resist his curiosity and listened for a while, discovering that the two were currently arguing about many things.

Leaving aside the question of who is primary and who is secondary, Yang Shi and the elephant demon couldn't even agree on the methods of spreading Buddhism.

Yang Shi hoped that all the demons in the Jin Kingdom would follow the Buddhist path.

However, the elephant demon had a keen eye and saw some hidden dangers in the Buddhist path. Therefore, it only hoped to spread the Buddhist path among the lower levels of the demon race.

Meanwhile, the higher-ups of the demon race continued to follow the demon race's cultivation path.

This would prevent the high-ranking members of the demon race from being corrupted by the Buddhist path, and the Jin Kingdom would remain the Jin Kingdom of the demon race, with the Buddhist path merely a tool for the demon race to rule over all demons.

But Yang Shi certainly didn't want the Buddhist path to become merely a tool for the Jin state's high-ranking officials to rule over the demon race.

He proposed that the senior officials of Guangli Temple in the future could be concurrently appointed by the high-ranking officials of the Jin Kingdom. This would not only increase the sincerity of cooperation between the two sides, but also allow them to better govern the demon race under their rule due to their dual identities.

Zhang Zhi was a little surprised when he heard Yang Shi's proposal.

He's treating the Buddhist path of cultivation as a sect, aiming to transform the Jin Kingdom into a Buddhist kingdom, and moreover, a Buddhist kingdom that combines religion and politics.

This clearly exposes Yang Shi's ambition.

If his plan succeeds, Jin will definitely become a Buddhist kingdom. However, in the future, Jin will certainly not be the only Buddhist kingdom.

Yang Shi was thinking of swallowing the Jin state like a snake trying to swallow an elephant, and then using that to expand the influence of Buddhism.

The demon would definitely not accept his proposal.

Although the elephant demon did not initially uncover the deepest pitfall in Yang Shi's plan.

But he sensed that something was wrong here.

Indeed, if this plan were accepted, all the high-ranking officials of the Jin state would become high-ranking officials in the Buddhist path.

Given the current number of high-level cultivators in the Jin Kingdom, it would be easy for them to usurp the Buddhist path and turn it into a cultivation path controlled by the demon race.

They turned Guangli Temple into a temple for demons.

However, He vaguely sensed that something was amiss with this Buddhist path.

His sixth sense was pretty accurate. If he really agreed, it would be hard to say whether the Buddhist path would control the demon race or the demon race would control the Buddhist path.

As the king of Jin, Xiang only wanted to use Buddhist methods to integrate the demon race, not to let the demon race be ruled by Buddhist methods.

If Yang Shi's plan is accepted, the State of Jin will indeed be able to quickly integrate the entire demon race, and at the same time, it will greatly increase the stability of the State of Jin's rule.

However, in this case, the State of Jin could be said to have completely fallen under the control of the Buddhist path.

This goes against his original intention.

Yang Shi, on the other hand, had absolute faith in the Buddhist path, so neither of them was willing to compromise, and this was only one aspect of the matter.

During their conversation, there were many similar issues that they simply couldn't reach an agreement on.

For example, should restrictions be set or not when disseminating the subsequent techniques?

For example, are the management personnel of the Buddhist path only qualified to be Buddhist cultivators, or can anyone from the demon race hold such a position?

Based on the current state of their communication, it is highly unlikely that the two will reach an agreement in the short term.

Zhang Zhi listened for a long time, and after pondering for a while, he ultimately did not interfere with the two's negotiation.

To be honest, he didn't really want the Buddhist path to be integrated with the Jin state.

Given the powerful dissemination and brainwashing capabilities of the Buddhist path, if it gained the support of the Jin Kingdom, it could convert the entire demon race into Buddhist cultivators in a very short time. Having consolidated the entire demon race into a Buddhist sect in such a short period, its attention would undoubtedly then turn to other races.

It's possible that the entire Lingbao Small World will eventually become a path for Buddhist cultivation.

This is not the situation he wants to see.

He hoped that the intelligent beings within his small world could control the cultivation path, rather than be controlled by it.

However, the Buddhist path is precisely the kind of cultivation path that possesses the ability to influence intelligent beings who walk this path.

At that time, even if the higher-ups of the Jin Kingdom do not want to spread the Buddhist path to other races, the cultivators below will spontaneously spread the Buddhist techniques to the surrounding areas.

Not to mention, Yang Shi and Xiang might be influenced by Buddhist practices and become obsessed with promoting them.

However, judging from the current situation, the elephant demon had indeed studied the Buddhist cultivation path in depth and knew about some of its dangers.

Therefore, He thought of using the method of controlling high-level cultivation techniques to ensure that Buddhist practices only circulated among the lower levels.

In this way, the possibility of Buddhist practices getting out of control is not high.

Of course, this is just the elephant demon's own idea. Given the evil nature of Buddhist cultivation methods, countless people will surely want to spread Buddhist teachings in the Jin Kingdom.

However, this process will definitely take much longer than when the Jin state fully embraced the Buddhist path at the beginning.

By then, other races who have witnessed the power of Buddhist methods will naturally be on guard, and the situation will not be too bad.

Of course, this is also because Zhang Zhi has always been wary of the Buddhist path. If it were another cultivation path, Zhang Zhi would definitely be happy to see it happen.

After leaving Guangli Temple, Zhang Zhi left the Lingbao Small World.

After entering the Qi Refining Small World, Zhang Zhi did not rush to the Trial Tower, but instead went to Buzhou Mountain and listened to Fang Yun's sermon for a while.

Fang Yun's sermon actually contained quite a lot of information.

However, the content he was explaining was somewhat advanced and not suitable for classroom use, so Zhang Zhi only listened for a while and observed Fang Yun's way of lecturing before leaving.

After leaving Buzhou Mountain, the next step was naturally to head to the Trial Tower.

Upon entering the Trial Tower, they discovered that there were still cultivators at the weak Divine Power Realm from the Rune World region.

Zhang Zhi raised an eyebrow slightly as he looked at the faintly divine-level being from the Rune World region.

I don't have many yellow-tier key cards for the Rune World region, but every day I come in the Trial Tower, I see weak Divine Power Realm beings from the Rune World region, and they are all different cultivators.

Have you been waiting in the Runeworld region for the key cards to refresh these days?
From this perspective, the Runeworld region should have fully accepted the existence of the Trial Tower by now.

In that case, should I try to contact those cultivators at the weak divine power level and obtain more information about runes from them?

After pondering for a while, he had a thought and appeared in front of the weak divine power realm being from the Rune World region.

The person had just bought a yellow-tier item from a stall using their points, their face beaming with joy.

Judging from the undisguised smile on his face, he seemed quite satisfied with what he had bought.

Just as He turned to leave, He suddenly noticed a person beside Him with a smile on their face, nodding slightly at Him.

He vaguely sensed that something was amiss, but he still subconsciously smiled and nodded slightly at the other person.

But after taking only a few steps, he suddenly stopped, his pupils contracted slightly, and he turned his head again to look at the person from before.

At that moment, he realized something was wrong.

Within the Trial Tower, including this extremely rare Trial Tower that has an owner, no one can see the faces of others due to the protection of the Trial Tower's laws.

However, she had just seen that person smile at her.

No one who can reach the realm of weak divine power is an idiot.

At this moment, he realized that the person in front of him was the master of the Trial Tower.

Only the master of the Trial Tower has the ability to display their appearance within the Trial Tower.

He took a deep breath, his mind racing through the information he and his companions had gathered within the Trial Tower about its master.

Then, He bowed slightly to the person before him and said, "True Man Bihai greets the esteemed Master of the Trial Tower!"

Zhang Zhi nodded slightly to the cultivator who called himself True Man Bi Hai, and then said, "Are you a cultivator from that world region that was recently connected?"

Master Bihai bowed again and said, "Replying to the esteemed master of the Trial Tower, yes, the world region where I am located was indeed only recently connected to your Trial Tower."

Zhang Zhi looked the man up and down before saying, "Welcome."

He paused for a moment, then added, "If possible, you can hand over some information related to your world region to the person in charge of the mission center."

"In this way, I, and the humans in other areas of the Trial Tower, will be able to understand your world region and your current situation."

"In addition, you can also post some missions related to your world area in the mission center, and you can also accept some missions from other world areas."

"Of course, none of these are mandatory."

"If you are not currently facing any difficulties and do not want to have too close contact with humans in other parts of the world too soon, you can proceed at your own pace."

After saying this, Zhang Zhi's figure flashed and disappeared from in front of Master Bihai.

Master Bihai stared into the direction where Zhang Zhi had disappeared, lost in thought. After wandering around the trading market for a while, he arrived at the mission center.

After circling the mission center, the figure slowly disappeared from the Trial Tower.

Zhang Zhi watched as the Azure Sea Immortal left the Trial Tower before turning his gaze away.

He did this because he knew that haste makes waste. He had only just made contact with the cultivators in the Rune World region, and if he asked them for information related to runes, they might start to have all sorts of wild ideas.

To avoid misunderstandings, or rather, to avoid damaging the trust that had been so hard to build, Zhang Zhi planned to proceed step by step.

Once the exchange is nearly complete, obtaining more information from them will naturally follow. (End of Chapter)
