Ye Feng paused and said: "The above is the first question of the Great Xia Dynasty, then the second question is your attitude towards weak mortals. But before talking about this point, I want to talk about the eight overseas continents first. .
"I mentioned before that the sect model of the eight overseas continents resulted in them having only sects and no common people. So take the weakest sect as an example. Your Highness, do you think a true immortal can be destroyed with just a flip of his hand? Does the small sect have the value of existing?"
Xia Yimo could tell that Ye Feng's true meaning could be extended to: Do those people who can be killed with just a flip of their hands have any value in existence? But when Xia Yimo got here, she really didn't know. So she could only honestly shake her head to express her ignorance.
Ye Feng said: "For example, why can lions kill weasels, foxes and other small carnivores in nature? Then why do small carnivores still exist?
"Because the lion is so big, sparrows, bird eggs, and insects are not enough to fill the gap between the lion's teeth, and the lion has to expend physical energy that is disproportionate to the food, so the lion's prey can only be large herbivores. Sparrows, bird eggs, Insects are naturally the prey of small carnivores such as weasels and foxes. This is called an ecological niche.
"As long as this ecological niche exists in nature, there will always be populations occupying it to seek survival and continuation. Because life has always been about living first before there are other things, which for people are dignity, personality, etc.
"You can think of those small carnivores as small sects. In fact, just like the ecological niche in nature, the existence of each sect has its necessity, no matter how big or small.
Xia Yimo still seemed to understand and nodded, but Ye Feng saw that she still didn't completely believe it, so he continued:
“Then let me give you another extreme example.
"For example, you are the head of the largest sect in the world, with unparalleled cultivation and invincibility. One day, you suddenly get out of your mind and wipe out all the sects in the prehistoric fairyland, leaving only your sect. You They also implemented high-pressure rule and strictly ordered that no more sects should appear in this world, otherwise they would destroy each one.
"One day in the future, some little monsters suddenly made trouble somewhere in the east, so you sent your disciples to suppress it. Then a big monster appeared in the west, and you sent elders of the sect to go there. Then things happened in the south and north. No. The solution is that you are the only sect left in this world, and the only people you can use are your own people.
"We know that cultivation has always been from low to high, step by step. Those new low-level disciples discovered during their practice that there were not enough low-level herbs in the sect, and low-level disciples had no pills to eat. Compared to high-level disciples, Disciple, the number of low-level disciples must be the majority, and the demand must be huge. Then the prices of low-level elixirs and herbs will definitely skyrocket, and one day they will even be more expensive than high-level elixirs and herbs. So you have to send low-level elixirs and herbs. The disciples went to plant medicinal fields and solved the problem of elixirs and herbs by themselves.
"Later, due to insufficient ore, low-grade magic weapons suitable for low-level disciples were also out of stock, and the price of ore skyrocketed. When it was more expensive than high-level ore, you had to send disciples to mine.
"If things continue like this, Your Highness, what do you think will happen to this sect?"
Xia Yimo seemed to understand a little, and slowly tried to reason: "This sect will definitely be exhausted. Most people have no intention of practicing, which has led to the slow progress of the entire sect's cultivation. Moreover, because disciples and elders have been sent to all over the world for a long time, Failure to return will inevitably lead to disorganization and disunity of people."
Ye Feng nodded and said: "That's right. Let alone cultivating new top combat power, such a sect is very good at maintaining the status quo. It exists in name only. To put it simply, when you destroy all other sects in the world, Sect is equivalent to destroying your own sect.
"And these people in the eight overseas continents know this better than the royal family of your Daxia Dynasty, and they understood it many years earlier.
"It's still the same example. Suddenly one day, a disciple reported that he found a new small sect in the west and asked you if you wanted to suppress it. You were furious. How dare these people not take your orders seriously? However, you soon discovered that this sect mainly grows low-level medicinal herbs, and also continuously pays tribute to your sect, which relieves your urgent need. You no longer have to send low-level disciples with good qualifications to farm, you can let them Concentrate on training to improve the strength of the sect.
"So you acquiesced, and this sect lived on in the world, providing you with a steady stream of medicinal herbs. Then, you discovered that many sects had been secretly established in other places, because they would not kill you when they saw that you had set a precedent, and the people in the world Everyone is afraid of death, and they all want to open a sect and seek immortality. However, in order to protect themselves, some mine operators refine the mines into ingots and give them to you as tribute, and some subdue demons and demons as tribute to you. Beast materials, etc. These small sects each show their strengths and do things for you that your sect’s low-level disciples would have done, and they can also pay tribute to you.
"So slowly the world returned to its original environment of numerous large and small sects.
"Now let's talk about the reality of the ancient immortal realm. You should know that spiritual roots are needed for cultivation, but spiritual roots cannot be inherited through reproduction. They can only mutate from countless mortals. Therefore, the huge population base is Your Daxia Dynasty is guaranteed to have a steady stream of new monks. There are few people in the eight overseas continents. Without the introduction of foreign monks, their final outcome will be destruction.
"If the eight continents are compared to two-story buildings with upper and lower floors, the Great Xia Dynasty has one more floor called the common people than they do, and you are on the third floor. Originally, if you could keep this lowest floor of the common people, you guys The third floor can live longer than the other eight continents, so the key is how to protect the lowest level of the common people, because the people who serve the common people from the beginning are not the big sects, but the countless small sects at the lowest level. Door
"Because of the huge gap between mortals and monks, it is impossible for mortals to rise up like the outside world. They cannot resist the monks, but they can make contributions that only they can make to the continuity of the monk sect.
“But what did your Daxia Dynasty do to the people?
"Your Highness, Princess, you just looked down on the outside dynasties. It is true that the outside dynasties are the same as the Great Xia Dynasty in terms of not treating the people as human beings. However, because there are only a very small number of high-level monks outside, and most of them are indifferent to worldly affairs, so The common people can rise up and overthrow the dynasty. But don't you have that here?
"The local monks who emerged at the Immortal Ascension Conference chose the eight major sects without hesitation instead of staying in the Great Xia Dynasty. They only used the Middle-earth Academy as a springboard. This is the way for the people to "rise up" against the Great Xia Dynasty. You are here Don’t you understand this yet?
