"If Tianshi Mansion decides to shrink its power and rely on the protection of the Dharma Protector Formation to develop and preserve Tianshi Mansion's own strength, then Tianshi Mansion will have five years to develop in the Eastern Continent."
"Then within these five years, the main contradiction in Tianshi Mansion has shifted from external to internal."
"Previously, the main conflict of the Tianshi Mansion was the conflict with the Western Continent's True Demons and the Divine King's Palace. When the Tianshi Mansion relied on the Dharma Protector Formation to shrink its power, within five years the conflict with the Western Continent became a secondary conflict, and the main conflict changed from The outside moved inside.”
"As the primary and secondary contradictions shift, it is time to put aside the secondary contradictions and focus on solving the main contradiction. Since we want to solve the main contradiction, we have to mention the current internal situation in Donglu."
"...In short, with the earth veins and earth energy exhausted, the situation in the Eastern Continent has become precarious. After three months of my travels, the following are the main and secondary internal contradictions I have summarized in the past five years. "
"The main contradiction: the extreme shortage of materials, whether it is cultivation materials or the survival materials of ordinary people and believers, has fallen into an extremely scarce situation. Although the Tianshi Mansion has established temples of good believers throughout the Eastern Continent to provide porridge to the people. But this It is not a long-term solution. During my travels, I found that many people were not fully clothed and had no food to eat. Although giving porridge could help the people survive, it could not keep them full. Under this situation, the people It has become difficult to maintain faith in the Tianshi Mansion and the Heavenly Court. The lack of cultivation materials has resulted in the Tianshi Mansion being unable to refine elixirs, cultivate spiritual seeds, and have no treasure materials to refine weapons. The result of this is that the Eastern Continent monks They can only rely on hard training, and many disciples do not have a suitable magic weapon. If this continues, the monks in the Eastern Continent will always be left behind by the monks in the Western Continent. Even if the Heavenly Court comes to counterattack the Western Continent, 80% of the disciples in the Tianshi Mansion will be They can only act as pawns."
"Secondary contradiction: The secondary contradiction is the war with the Western Continent. The heretical demons and the God King Palace in the Western Continent must be destroyed in the future, but we have made a mistake. For a hundred years, the Tianshi Mansion has only thought about fighting against the heretic true demons. The demons and the God King's Palace are fighting, and it seems that the only way to solve them is war. Even if they retreat to the Eastern Continent, with the shield of the Dharma Protector Formation, this is still the case. But in fact, there is another direction, and that is to compete for believers. Whether it is a heretic Whether it’s the real demon or the God King’s Palace, they all want to gain a foothold among the living beings in the Haolan Realm, and the only way to gain a foothold is to gain the faith and support of the living beings in this world. When the four great heavenly masters came to the Haolan Realm, they also The foundation of the Tianshi Mansion was laid through preaching, receiving karma, and educating living beings. But the problem now is that the Western Continent is prosperous, and the heretic true demons and the God King Palace have gained the universal faith and support of the living beings in the Western Continent, and the power of faith is flowing. They are constantly gathering on them. But the East Continent Tianshi Mansion is now unable to maintain even the believers in the East Continent. Just imagine, if the creatures and people in the East Continent learn about the prosperity of the West Continent, who will they care about? Who is the heaven? Who is the external demon? Really? No, what living beings want is a stable and prosperous life, rather than giving out three meals a day and then waiting to die. The current belief of the sentient beings in the Eastern Continent in the Tianshi Mansion is only due to the inertia of the past hundred years. Once this inertia is destroyed , or knowing the situation in the Western Continent, then the Tianshi Mansion will lose the believers of hundreds of millions of living beings in the Eastern Continent in an instant. And when the hundreds of millions of living beings in the Eastern Continent turn to the Western Continent’s heretic true demons and the God King Palace, I am afraid that the Dharma Protector Formation will also You can’t stop the coming of the real demons from heretics.”
"So, the main contradiction at present is: we should do our best to restore the vitality of the Eastern Continent, at least to let the creatures of the Eastern Continent live a life of adequate food and clothing. We must also do our best to obtain various cultivation materials and treasures, at least to let the Tianshi Mansion Every disciple of ours has a suitable magic weapon! This is the most important thing, and it is also something that must be solved as soon as possible!"
． ． ．
After reading the contents on Fang Jian's jade slip, everyone present felt as if they had just woken up from a dream.
It's not that they don't know about these issues, and it's not that they haven't thought about them, but they think that with the shield of the Dharma Protector Formation and the upcoming heavenly army, they can just survive it for a few years.
Except that they ignored the very important matter of the battle of faith. The war with the heretic demons and the God King's Palace is not a simple war in which you destroy me and I destroy you, but a war that must compete for the faith of the Haolan Realm. .
If there are people in the Eastern Continent who believe in those heretic true demons and make sacrifices for them, can the Dharma Protector Formation prevent the heretic true demons from coming to the Eastern Continent relying on the sacrifices of believers?
At first, the real demons of the heretics could not cross the blockade of the power of the world and enter the Haolan Realm. The wife of God King Tang Yi took the initiative to sacrifice herself, and then the real demons of the heretics came.
Could it be that the Dharma Protector Formation could be stronger than the blockade of the power of heaven and earth in this world? Everyone here has no confidence.
While everyone was frightened, they also felt a sense of control before their eyes, because Fang Jian's jade slips not only analyzed the main and secondary contradictions in detail, but also pointed out a direction. .
It's just that this direction seems to be out of reach for everyone here.
Liu Zhaoye sighed, then cupped his hands towards Fang Jian and said, "Master Hongqing is worthy of being a heavenly talent. He can explain clearly the gains and losses of our Tianshi Mansion within a hundred years with just this jade book. It's really admirable."
Even the other two Futian Masters and the seven sacrificial wines nodded towards Fang Jian. This Hongqing master from Heaven was a bit arrogant, but he still had some abilities.
Especially since he had only been in Haolan Realm for three months, he could see the situation so clearly that they couldn't help but admire him.
However, it's not that they can't see through this, it's that they are 'in this mountain', so they can't look at things from the perspective of outsiders, regardless of their old grudges with the real demons of the heretics and the God King's Palace.
"But..." Assistant Tianshi Qu Han said: "Although Master Hongqing's theory of primary and secondary contradictions is suddenly enlightening, we who guard the Eastern Continent, do we have the magical power to change the heaven and the earth? This will restore the vitality of the Eastern Continent. How easy is it to obtain supplies and treasures?"
"Yes." Gao Jing nodded and said, "It's impossible to do it."
The seven priests also shook their heads with regret. This Master Hongqing was indeed a capable person, but no matter how capable he was, how could he turn things around and change the world in the current situation in the East Continent?
"However..." Liu Zhaoye said: "One thing can still be done, and that is to consolidate the faith of all sentient beings in the Eastern Continent in our Heavenly Master's Mansion and Heavenly Court. This can be done if we try our best, and we must do it."
After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. This point was really important. If what Fang Jian said in the jade slip really happened, the entire Tianshi Mansion would be dead without a burial place.
"This matter must be arranged as soon as possible." Liu Zhaoye said to Qu Han and Gao Jing.
Qu Han and Gao Jing nodded solemnly and agreed.
However, at this time Fang Jian said: "It is the responsibility of my Baofangyuan to obtain supplies and treasures. Since I raised this matter, it should be completed by me."
"Oh?" As soon as Fang Jian said this, everyone in the hall looked over in surprise.
"I would like to ask Master Hongqing, how do you obtain supplies and treasures?" Ding Zhongyuan, who was offering wine at the Shouqiyuan, asked.
Fang Jian took out the map of the Haolan Realm in front of everyone, and then, in full view of everyone, he looked at the Canglan Sea on the map and said: "This is the Canglan Sea. I want to go to the Canglan Sea to obtain treasures and materials from here."
"This!!!" Liu Zhaoye and others couldn't help but take a breath when they saw this.
Then Liu Zhaoye said: "There are countless monsters and weird things in the Canglan Sea. Even the original Divine King Tang Yi and the four Ancestral Masters have never set foot in it. Master Hongqing, let's just leave this discussion alone."
Qu Han also said: "Not to mention the weird monsters in the depths of the Canglan Sea, there are several golden immortal monsters in the sea area bordering the Eastern Continent. It's not like we haven't sent people there, but They were all stopped by these big monsters.”
Gao Jing nodded and said: "That's right, and Canglanhai has great malice towards our Tianshi Mansion. Master Hongqing, this matter cannot be done."
It is understandable that Canglanhai has ill intentions towards the Tianshi Mansion. After all, one of the teachings of the Tianshi Mansion is to kill demons and eliminate demons. Naturally, the demons in Canglanhai don't like it when they hear this.
But Fang Jian said calmly: "The three Futian Masters misunderstood. I am not asking for your instructions. Regardless of whether the three Futian Masters agree or not, I will go to Canglan Sea."
Gao Jing said with some surprise: "Master Hongqing, do you want to disobey the decision of the Tianshi Mansion?"
Fang Jian stood up and offered his Immortal Official Jade Plate and said: "Everyone, I am an Immortal Official from Heaven. Now I am going to Canglan Sea. I am not speaking to you as a wine worshipper in Baofangyuan, but as a Heavenly Official." I am informing you in the name of the Immortal Official."
This sudden shock stunned everyone, and the three Futian Masters didn't come back to their senses for a long time.
After a long time, Liu Zhaoye came back to his senses and said quickly: "Master Hongqing, I know you are an Immortal Official in Heaven, but this is the Eastern Continent of the Haolan Realm. If we don't activate the Dharma Protector Formation, you won't be able to get out."
Fang Jian smiled lightly and said: "Master Liu, don't forget, since I come from Heaven, I have the means to pass through the Dharma Protector Formation."
"..."
Seeing Fang Jian's confident expression, Liu Zhaoye fell silent, and everyone present fell silent.
"Oh, it's too dangerous." Liu Zhaoye looked at Fang Jian and said, "Master Hongqing, if something happens to you in Canglan Sea, how will we explain it to heaven?"
Fang Jian smiled and took out a jade slip again and said: "This is my legacy. It is stamped with my Immortal Official seal. If I unfortunately die in the Canglan Sea, then this legacy as a witness has nothing to do with you. It’s all my own fault.”
After speaking, Fang Jian presented the jade slip to Liu Ji.
Liu Ji took the jade slip blankly, and then handed it to Liu Zhaoye subconsciously.
After Liu Zhaoye read the contents of the jade slip, he passed it on to others.
Finally, after his persuasion failed and Fang Jian left a letter, Liu Zhaoye had no choice but to agree to Fang Jian.
Liu Zhaoye slowly put the jade slip into his sleeve, then looked straight at Fang Jian and said, "When will Master Hongqing leave for Canglan Sea?"
"Tomorrow! The sooner the better." Fang Jian said.
Liu Zhaoye nodded and said: "Okay, then I will go to the south with Master Hongqing tomorrow to open the passage of the Dharma Protector Formation for Master Hongqing."
When Fang Jian heard this, he immediately cupped his hands and said, "Thank you very much, Master Liu Tian."
