Zhang Xiaosheng allowed everyone's speculation to continue to ferment, and did not speak again until a quarter of an hour later:
"For the wealthy couple, I have given you unlimited freedom, but the integration must look like integration. There is no need to continue using the previous sect names of each sect. Since you join the Five Elements Sect, you are all members of the Five Elements Sect. .”
In fact, everyone has been mentally prepared. After all, freedom does not come without a price. Being able to retain skills, partners, and resources is already a huge surprise. Although it has not been integrated, everyone knows what integration should look like.
But even so, no one can face the moment when the sect's name is taken away calmly. It is complicated by loss, hesitation, doubt, and fear.
Yang Tiannan pursed his lips and wanted to say something, but Zhang Xiaosheng noticed it and waved his hand to interrupt:
"Sect Leader Yang, I know what you are going to say, please be patient, I have my own sense of discretion!"
After speaking, he looked around at everyone and continued:
"The current situation is urgent, so we need to integrate quickly, but integration is also two-way. As I said just now, you do not have to join the Five Elements Sect, and the Five Elements Sect does not accept everyone, so I decided to use one year as a transition period. During the transition period, all sects were downgraded to halls, such as Qi Ling Sect was called Qi Ling Tang, and Dan Ding Sect was called Dan Ding Tang, so that it would be easier for everyone to call them."
Zhang Xiaosheng has thought about it carefully. The integration cannot be completed overnight, and he also needs to continue to practice. He cannot be involved in these sect affairs all day long, so he must first decide on the names and give everyone a one-year buffer period. Within a year, let them all see the benefits of joining the Five Elements Sect, and then the complete integration will naturally be much smoother.
He wants stability, not chaos.
When everyone heard that the name could still be kept, they couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, but before they could be happy, Zhang Xiaosheng's voice sounded again, and this time, all the sect leaders felt a bone-chilling chill.
"The inheritance of the sect is more important than anything else. The skills, disciples, territory, resources and even the name can be retained for the time being. This is tolerance and understanding for everyone, but you should not think that this is what it should be. There is no need to pay the price."
After a pause, Zhang Xiaosheng spoke in a deep tone and said word by word:
"After each sect is downgraded to a hall, the original sect leader directly enters the Five Elements Sect Elder Hall and no longer serves as the hall leader."
"hiss……"
All the sect leaders took a breath, this was a naked seizure of power...
When they no longer serve as hall masters, what will the original sect look like a year later?
Although a year is not long, it is enough for many things to happen.
Many sect leaders began to secretly think about what words they could use to retain their position as sect leader without arousing Zhang Xiaosheng's resentment.
Can you better promote integration by serving as the hall leader yourself?
Some people think this way, but they quickly give up the idea. Being able to become a sect leader is naturally not an ordinary person. I don't believe this reason. In fact, Zhang Xiaosheng's method is more conducive to integration...
Can there be any price paid?
No way...the sects have all been integrated, which is equivalent to everything being owned by the Five Elements Sect. The self-distribution of resources mentioned before is just for tolerance, but it does not mean that it is necessary.
Sure enough, Zhang Xiaosheng continued:
"Of course, if each sect feels it is inappropriate, the original sect leader can continue to serve as the hall leader, but the remaining resources must be handed over to the sect, and the sect will arrange and distribute them uniformly. I think since it is an integration, this is natural, right? "
After hearing this, the heads of various sects couldn't help but have extremely complicated expressions.
How to choose...
Can they say no?
Sacrificing one's own rights in exchange for the preservation of the sect's inheritance, sacrificing oneself and retaining everything else, this... was another choice given to them by Zhang Xiaosheng.
People are selfish, and the sect's inheritance and resources belong to all sect members, not just the sect leader.
If the disciples lose all their resources because of their greed for power and position, how will these disciples view them? Will they still respect and love them as before?
Seeing that the sect leaders were silent and the Jindan monks from all sects were also silent, Zhang Xiaosheng looked at Yang Tiannan, who had wanted to speak before, and asked:
"Sect Master Yang, are you willing to join the Hall of Masters?"
When Yang Tiannan saw his name being called, he smiled bitterly and said:
"If the name of Qingyang can be retained, Yang is willing to join, but I don't know who Sect Leader Zhang will arrange to take charge of Qingyang Hall?"
"No need to take charge!" Zhang Xiaosheng waved his hand and said decisively:
"I just said that the transition period is only one year, the Hengduan Mountains are closed, and all the sects are integrated together, so there won't be too many decisions to make this year. All you need to do is practice, and after one year, I will personally preside over the Qinxin test, and only those who pass can join the Five Elements Sect, while those who fail can leave freely, and Zhang will never force it."
Okay, there is still a chance for Qingqing to leave, but will he really have to leave and become a casual cultivator with no family or sect?
Unconsciously, many people felt a sense of crisis in their hearts, wondering what this heart-questioning test was all about.
"Of course it's the reputation value. The reputation value cannot be above respect, so why are you left here?" Zhang Xiaosheng thought silently in his heart, but naturally he would not say it out loud.
"Sect Master Zhang, I am willing to join the Elder Hall, and the Walrus Sect is also willing to obey the arrangement, but how will the original resources be allocated?" The leader of the Walrus Sect saw the situation very quickly. His choice before was really unwise, and now he hurriedly took the initiative to express his position.
"Of course, it is allocated according to needs. Although the question-seeking test is mainly based on question-seeking, it also tests the school's personal qualifications and hard work. If you have excellent qualifications and are diligent, you will naturally be the best choice. If you have average qualifications but can practice hard, it is acceptable. Accept it, but no matter what your qualifications are, those who don’t know how to learn will not be accepted!”
Those present who were brought to participate in the exchange meeting were the best in each sect, but after hearing Zhang Xiaosheng's words, they all felt sad. It seemed that the previous laziness could no longer be used, and after the news was spread back to the sect, only I am afraid that those who are slightly inferior in qualifications will work harder to practice. If they are surpassed by those people, my future will be worrying.
"So, don't think about saving resources in each hall. The time left for you is only one year. After one year, only more than 90% of the original sects who have passed the heart-asking test can retain the name of the hall. Otherwise, everything will be based on spiritual roots and expertise. It depends on you whether you can retain the name of the original sect when you redistribute the halls!"
At this moment, everyone became nervous, and the original sect leaders couldn't help but sigh secretly. Zhang Xiaosheng unknowingly let everyone follow his arrangement step by step.
First, they used their righteousness to seize the power of the sect leaders. After the Jindan elders of each sect lost their backbone, they now dare not not do their best to retain the name of the sect.
Speaking of disciples, after all, those with outstanding qualifications in each sect are only a minority, and ordinary people make up the majority. These people usually have scarce resources, but now they are allocated according to needs according to Zhang Xiaosheng's requirements. How can they not be grateful to him.
In this way, the power of the sect leaders no longer exists, and the elders are doing their best, while the disciples present are intimidated by Zhang Xiaosheng's strength and do not dare to think too much. The disciples who are not present are grateful for the resources allocated. I am afraid that this integration... ...it will be unimaginably smooth!
