Although the Zixia Sect was surprised by the vigorous development of the Tianshan Sect and the Cangling Sect in the secular world, they did not dare to make the decision to join the Cheng family now.
After all, surrender is a permanent thing, not a momentary thing.
It will be difficult to leave after surrendering.
Therefore, several ancestors of Zixia Sect have been undecided!
So the matter was put on hold, but a few days later, another news broke that shocked the Zixia Sect and even the entire secular monks.
The Shushan Sect also surrendered to the Cheng family and became the third affiliated force of the Cheng family. At the same time, Shushan also began to recruit disciples from the secular world.
As a result, this can make Zixia Sect become anxious again.
"Now you know, I have long said that this is an opportunity. Obviously Shushan Sect has also seized this opportunity now!" Chun Hengzi said.
"Then what should we do now? Go and join Cheng Yu too?"
Seeing that Shushan was recruiting disciples, Chun Zhongzi and Chun Hongzi finally couldn't wait any longer.
"That's all we can do! Today's Shushan is no longer as good as us, but if we let them overwhelm us again, then we will really miss a great opportunity." Chun Hengzi also became anxious.
Although he had previously agreed to return to the Cheng family, he was still a little hesitant and unsure of what would happen after he surrendered.
Now that I see that Shushan has surrendered, I feel even more anxious.
There are only 10,000 people left in Shushan now. Compared with them, Zixia Sect is already ahead. It would be a real pity if Shushan were to catch up again.
"In this case, we can't wait any longer. In any case, these sects used to be big sects in the world of cultivation, but now they have all submitted to the Cheng family. They don't worry about being restricted by the Cheng family. What else do we have? What are you worried about?"
So, in the end, the Zixia Sect also found the Cheng family and expressed their willingness to submit.
Cheng Yu would naturally not refuse such a thing, because this was exactly what he needed.
Therefore, after Shushan surrendered, the Zixia Sect also surrendered to the Cheng family.
And Cheng Yu also reopened new permissions to them, allowing them to recruit disciples in the secular world. However, Cheng Yu's requirement is that the number of affiliated sects cannot exceed half of the Cheng family.
Today, the total number of Cheng Yu's disciples is about 50,000, so the Zixia sect cannot have more than 25,000 disciples.
For such conditions, Zixia Sect was naturally a little resistant at first. After all, they now have more than 20,000 people.
If the number of people cannot exceed half of the Cheng family, then they can only recruit less than 5,000 people from the secular world at most.
However, after knowing that other sects also had to abide by this rule, they felt balanced.
Of course Cheng Yu did this because he did not want these affiliated forces to develop too fast. Although more people did not necessarily mean strength, if the number of people in the sect exceeded the Cheng family, it would still pose a great threat to the Cheng family.
Moreover, the difference in the numbers of the several secular forces is now relatively large. In this case, the strength of these subordinate sects is also very different.
Among the four affiliated sects, Shushan in particular is the weakest, with only 10,000 people now.
Now that he has limited the number of people to 25,000, other forces will not be able to push Shushan too far away. After reaching about 25,000 people, other sects have no way to recruit more people and can only wait for the development of Shushan.
The reason for doing this is naturally to balance the strength of the affiliated sects.
Only with equal strength can they restrain each other and reach a balance.
Moreover, there are only so many people in the world. If they are all taken away by one sect, then this sect will not only be stronger than several other affiliated sects, but even stronger than the Cheng family. This is definitely something Cheng Yu does not want to see. Arrived.
As long as they continue to cultivate outstanding disciples, the number of Cheng family will naturally increase. When the number of people in the Cheng family increases, it also means that the number of people in their own sect can increase.
Therefore, if these affiliated forces really want to expand their strength, they must cultivate more outstanding disciples.
And he has told these sects that the more outstanding disciples sent to the Cheng family every year, not only will they get more rewards, but they will also get more privileges than other sects, and they can even increase their authority to a higher number.
So now the Cheng family can easily get a large number of outstanding disciples every year.
Of course, the source of Cheng family disciples cannot solely rely on these affiliated sects. Because these disciples may not be absolutely loyal to the Cheng family, after all, they were once disciples of these affiliated sects.
However, it is not difficult for Cheng Yu to increase the number of Cheng family disciples. He has too many ways, so he is not in a hurry.
What Cheng Yu needs now is not the number of people, but the selection of the best. Whether you recruit from affiliated sects or directly from the Cheng family, you definitely need to select talents.
Now that the world of cultivation is in chaos, Cheng Yu is not in a hurry to recruit disciples in the world of cultivation. The most important thing is to attract as many powerful forces as possible.
With these four affiliated forces as examples, several other secular forces with more than 10,000 people also wanted to submit to the Cheng family.
However, these forces were originally only second-rate forces in the world of cultivation and could not be compared with the Tianshan Sect. Even though their number is comparable to that of Shushan, in terms of the quality of these monks, their strength is too weak, and there are not even a few in the Mahayana stage.
Therefore, although Cheng Yu needs to accept them, they cannot have the same status as the Tianshan Sect.
Cheng Yu classified them into the second-level affiliated forces, so the four Tianshan factions belong to the first-level affiliated forces.
Since the levels are divided, there must naturally be differences. For the second-level subordinate sects of the Cheng family, their number cannot exceed one-third of the Cheng family.
For such a result, these sects can only accept it. After all, they know in their hearts that they cannot compare with the Tianshan Sect.
Even the Shushan sect, the weakest among the four first-level sects, can easily destroy them, so they can only be willing to become the second-level sect.
No matter what, they finally became a force of the Cheng Yu faction, and they could still get the protection of the Cheng family, and at the same time they also got the opportunity to expand their numbers.
Even if there are only one-third of the Cheng family, they can still recruit thousands of new disciples, which is actually better than when they were in the world of cultivation.
Why?
Because the four first-level lower sects came to the world after being destroyed by Xuantian Sect, their numbers and strength have been greatly reduced.
But these second-rate forces, when they saw that the situation was wrong, they brought everyone in the sect to seek refuge in the secular world, so these ten thousand people were the original strength of the sect.
However, forces like them are not attractive in the world of cultivation, but it is different in this secular world. They already belong to the Cheng Yu family.
Now that Cheng Yu allowed them to recruit people, they were warmly welcomed by many disciples. Many monks who cannot enter the first-level sects have gone to these second-level sects. After all, the second-level sects also have the opportunity to enter the Cheng family. What they want is the opportunity to enter the Cheng family. It doesn’t matter whether you are a first-level sect or a second-level sect. Next sect!
