The other people also nodded slightly. Although Ling Yunzi didn't finish what he said, they all understood what it meant.
As we all know, Shushan is ostensibly the largest sect in the Eastern Continent’s cultivation world. In addition to the fact that the sect secretly has two powerful immortal-level old monsters and is quite rich in cultivation resources, the overall number and quality of its disciples are also the highest in the entire sect. It can be said to be the highest among the sects in the human world.
When judging the strength of a sect, it is true that the highest combat power is a very important factor, but the overall strength of the disciples is a key factor.
And the larger the sect's power, whether based on the history of the human world or the history of the true immortal world, often cannot last too long, because the factions within such a sect are quite complex, and factional struggles for power will definitely occur in the later stage. , so even if it is a united force at the beginning of the creation of the faction, even if it is not destroyed by other forces, it will inevitably dissipate in the long river of history as time goes by.
Of course, the same is true for Shushan. Although this sect was quite loose at the beginning, after experiencing the era when Qing Feng was in charge of great and small powers, the cohesion of the entire sect can be said to be quite terrifying. It can be described as being twisted into a rope. Said there was no big problem.
But after all, Qing Feng cannot sit in Shushan forever, so now, a thousand years after he left, the forces within the entire Shushan can be said to be intricate. Although the two elders, Qing Hui, are still the dominant force, the rest are not The combination of the small power groups should not be underestimated... Among them, the biggest threat to them was Chu Aotian's old power. They said it was an old power, but in fact they were like a mirror in their hearts. As long as Chu Aotian is a day away, If he is not dead, his old subordinates will still be loyal to him, but now they are unable to kill him due to the constraints of various forces.
When Chu Aotian rose to prominence, many people believed that he would become Qingfeng's second best, so his subordinates quickly formed a considerable force, which was once able to compete with the forces of the two supreme elders. , the limelight was the same for a while, but it was a pity that what happened next was known to everyone. A few people knew that Chu Aotian's cultivation had been abolished and was imprisoned in Xiao Xumi Cave, while most people thought that Chu Aotian was dead.
With his backbone gone, the forces under him naturally turned into birds and beasts. However, Ling Yunzi and his disciples formed a new force. In order to preserve this force, Ling Yunzi ignored his own face and suffered a lot. After receiving countless eye rolls, he attached himself to the two elders Qing Hui, won their trust, and became the next head teacher. However, as time went by, their group of junior brothers became even more controlled by the two princes. , it can be said that he will become the subordinate of the two masters permanently.
This point is quite clear to the most trusted subordinates of the Supreme Elders present. On the surface, Ling Yunzi seems to be absolutely loyal to the two Supreme Beings, but this loyalty also has a sequence. In his mind, The importance of his master, Chu Aotian, is definitely higher than that of the two princes.
In other words, if Ling Yunzi really reaches the state of possessing the realm of swords, then it is impossible for him to be as obedient to the two masters as he is now. Instead, he will form his own system and will conquer Chu. Aotian's true self took Xiao Xumi out of the cave and relieved him of his long quasi-prison life. For him, nothing was more important than his master. The reason why he was willing to join the faction of the two princes back then was In addition to protecting the brothers, the fundamental reason was to save his master's life.
This point is also very clear to the two Qing Hui princes, so they have no doubt about Ling Yunzi's loyalty. As long as Chu Aotian is in their hands, they will not worry about Ling Yunzi not being controlled by them, and at the same time, they will not worry about Ling Yunzi being out of their control. Worry about whether he is pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger or whether he is bearing the burden.
Moreover, the first half of Ling Yunzi's words is the key point.
The reason why he has been able to maintain such a status until now, and even has a pivotal position in the entire Eastern Continent's cultivation world, is entirely because he has truly dedicated himself to his position as head teacher, even to the extent that it is a bit excessive. Therefore, the entire sect has been managed by him with great success, and its overall strength has been greatly improved. However, in recent years, evil has continued to rise, and the rising star of the Great Guangming Palace has become even more powerful, and has long exceeded their Shushan's judgment on it.
Although Master Chu Aotian is the most important thing in Ling Yunzi's heart, after being the leader for so long, the interests of the entire sect have unknowingly become the most important thing after Chu Aotian, and This comes from the heart and is not a pretense. Everyone who knows Ling Yunzi knows how much he cares about his sect.
If he really has such strength, in addition to liberating his master Chu Aotian, I am afraid that the next thing he will do is to improve the overall strength of Shushan and suppress the evil forces. It will certainly not be possible for the previous confrontation between good and evil to happen. , because the existence that can possess the Sword Domain is already at the level of Patriarch Qingfeng, and can already influence many major events in the cultivation world of the Eastern Continent.
But they are not fools. Even if Ling Yunzi gets any chance, the possibility of owning the Sword Domain is very slim. There are countless geniuses born in Shushan since Qing Feng left, and the level of genius is as high as Chu Aotian's. There are many, but no one dares to expect that kind of realm, let alone the realm of swords. As long as a strong man with a realm can emerge, Shushan will have greater power in the world of cultivation.
Of course, Qinghui and Qinghui are more aware of all this, and this is one of the reasons why they still reuse Ling Yunzi as a destabilizing factor.
"Haha, Ling Yun, don't be nervous, let alone explain anything. From the creation of our human world to the present, even in the previous era of cultivation, according to what we both know, only a handful of people, including Qing Feng, have achieved it. In the realm of swords, they have all become great beings in the upper world. The rest of the people, let alone cultivation, cannot even reach the threshold of contact... I am not attacking you, even that kid Chu Aotian, Unless we give him another few thousand years, it will be impossible."
"Yes, plus you are here, then the 'Ling Yun' in the picture is either fake or someone else pretending to be like that 'Chu Aotian', but I have thought about many monks in the human world, and I don't think there is any Whoever can really use the Sword Domain is probably simulated by some illusion..."
Just like Tian Ming, although Ling Yunzi's strength is pretty good in the Eastern Continent's cultivation world, he has never seen such a level of illusion, and of course he is as surprised as Tian Ming.
