The Fourth Financial Crisis

Although Wang Sandao has the reputation of being the most powerful person in Kyushu, the technique he practices is not even at the Xuan level, but the most rubbish Golden Knife Sect yellow-level low-grade technique "Golden Sword Technique"!

"Golden Sword Technique" is said to be a technique passed down by the founder of the Golden Sword Sect thousands of years ago. But just looking at the ancestors of the Golden Sword Sect dozens of generations before Li Qingyang, no one has been able to practice to the late stage of Qi refining. You can see how rubbish this "Golden Sword Jue" really is.

Under normal circumstances, Wang Sandao would not be able to reach the golden elixir realm at all.

However, when the three Ascending Immortals enlightened the Spiritual Clan, they seemed to have given them some kind of ability similar to Yang Lu's same cultivation plug-in, allowing them to continuously improve their cultivation realm without having to meditate in seclusion. This led to the enlightenment of the Spiritual Clan. Although the skills are extremely rubbish, Wang Sandao's cultivation level has been sharpened to the Golden Elixir Perfection by years of cheating.

What's even more outrageous is that because Wang Sandao's martial arts cultivation is much stronger than his cultivation cultivation, this has led to all kinds of catastrophes, big and small, that ordinary cultivators fear like tigers. They are like scratching an itch for him, which makes him unnecessary. By accumulating merit, you can break through all the way to the end.

Despite this, there are still limits to the cultivation cheats of the Enlightenment Spirit Clan. According to Wang Sandao himself, because the quality of the techniques he practices is so poor, he should have no chance of achieving Nascent Soul in this life.

More importantly, the martial arts of the Spirit Clan cannot increase the life expectancy of the Spirit Clan. Therefore, Wang Sandao still only has the lifespan of a Golden Elixir Dzogchen monk. If his real age were not younger than Mingzhu, he would only have the life expectancy of the Spirit Clan this year. At more than five hundred and thirty years old, this ancestor of the Spirit Tribe may have exhausted his lifespan and died long ago.

According to the calculation of normal life span, Wang Sandao should have seventy or eighty years left in his life, which can only be said to be slightly better than Mingzhu, but for a cultivator, he is already on his deathbed.

The super rubbish skills combined with the Golden Elixir Dzogchen cultivation also caused Wang Sandao's spiritual consciousness to be inferior to that of Lin Jianxing, not to mention Jiang Hua'an in the early stage of the Golden Elixir. He was a complete spiritual consciousness. Crippled.

In the world of Jiuzhou cultivation, there has always been the principle of high spiritual consciousness monks raiding low spiritual consciousness monks.

If the sneak attacker's spiritual consciousness is too different from that of the person being attacked, even with the cover of top-level concealment skills, flaws will be revealed when mobilizing mana, and the raid can easily turn into a strong attack. If the sneak attacker's spiritual consciousness is stronger, Then you can completely use your spiritual consciousness to remotely lock the person being attacked outside the opponent's sensing range to achieve the effect of defeating the enemy first.

The only exception may be the Hanguang Sword Sect's killing move [Tianguang Beyond the Clouds]. This super killing move performed by the Great Elder Gu Jianming at the headquarters of the Haiya Chamber of Commerce did not require the use of spiritual consciousness to lock the enemy when casting the spell. , but can instead use visual locking to achieve ultra-long-distance sniping that far exceeds the limit of one's own divine consciousness locking.

It's just that neither Mingzhu nor Wang Sandao can do this killing move.

Because of this, when Mingzhu and Wang Sandao sneak attack each other at Lin Jianxing's home court, there is almost a 90% chance that they will be discovered first by the opponent. The remaining 10% is because Lin Jianxing is crazy and has no vigilance at all. However, as Wuliang The Sword Sect headquarters has entered martial law. This probability cannot even be guaranteed to the last tenth.

As long as Lin Jianxing is given a chance to react and activate the Great Forest Luo Wanxiang Sword Formation through the leader's token, even if Mingzhu and Wang Sandao join forces, they can barely protect themselves. If time drags on for too long, by the time Qiu Longbo and Ren Tianyuan came to support, and even other Jindan monks from the Wuliang Sword Sect formed a formation to besiege them. The two of them had no choice but to flee.

In fact, even if there was no sudden martial law, according to Wang Ziwei's original plan, he did not intend to go directly to Wuliang Golden Summit.

He planned to take advantage of Lin Jianxing's opportunity to leave the Wuliang Sword Sect and escape from the Great Forest Luo Wanxiang Sword Formation, and let Wang Sandao and Mingzhu Ancestors ambush Lin Jianxing. Even if the ambush failed, they could kill all the ancestors of the Wuliang Sword Sect Yuan Ying. Tune the tiger away from the mountain, and Wang Ziwei can take the opportunity to incite a riot in the Lingnu Factory within the Wuliang Sword Sect.

Although Wang Ziwei's combat power is not impressive, the strength of the spirit slaves in these spirit slave workshops should not be underestimated. Many spirit slaves even have the strength to rival the golden elixir. However, their strength is only controlled by the special shackles, which will make them immeasurable. The Qi Refining Stage monks of the Sword Sect can do whatever they want, as long as Wang Ziwei helps them get rid of the shackles of the anklets, and the Wuliang Sword Sect does not have any Nascent Soul monks to guard them. Being caught off guard, the Wuliang Sword Sect really cannot stop the collective of thousands of spiritual people. riot!

It's a pity that the plan can't keep up with the changes.

Before Wang Ziwei could arrange the work of the Lingnu Factory, the Wuliang Sword Sect headquarters entered a state of martial law. As a result, Wang Ziwei was forced to adjust his plan.

He originally thought that Yang Lu came to contact him, and he should be planning to let the Lingnu Factory launch a riot first, attracting Lin Jianxing, and then let Wang Sandao and Mingzhu capture the thief and capture the king first, and directly capture Lin Jianxing. But listening to Yang Lu's tone, it was obvious that he didn't think so.

So Wang Ziwei continued to ask: "President Yuntianhua should have reminded you at the beginning that Mo Yunlan is not a simple person. He is not willing to be the leader of the Wuliang Sword Sect. It is very likely that he deliberately let Lin Jianxing achieve this position and gave him As a scapegoat..."

Yang Lu chuckled and said: "Of course I know what he is thinking. As the elder of the Du branch of the Wuliang Sword Sect, although Mo Yunlan will also have a lot of merit deducted due to the Lingshi financial crisis, as long as he does not go crazy on the spot, he will not be punished afterwards. Clean up the mess that Lin Jianxing made, and maybe make up for the lost merit. This is a very smart calculation! President Li once said that although monks from the worldly sect have better ability to do things than the worldly sect, bad things are bad. Everyone is a refined egoist, this is absolutely true, you and I are both refined egoists, and Elder Mo is a very, very refined egotist!"

"Now that you have guessed what he thinks, how can we convince him to join our plan?"

Yang Lu raised his eyebrows and said, "Do you think Mo Yunlan's choice is okay?"

Wang Ziwei spread his hands and said: "I am from the spiritual tribe of the Wilderness Region. According to the old saying of you Kyushu people, I am a complete demon from outside the world. It is really difficult for me to empathize with you natives of Kyushu. So. On the contrary, I think Mo Yunlan’s choice is wise. Since your cultivation world is already rotten, it’s better to overthrow it and start over!”

Wang Ziwei didn't know yet that Yang Lu was actually an extraterrestrial demon. Even Yang Lu's life in the Jiuzhou cultivation world was less than one-twentieth of that of Wang Ziwei. However, unlike Yang Lu, who had already gradually integrated into this world, cultivators had no idea about the world. The cruel oppression of the Spirit Tribe made Wang Ziwei still extremely hostile to the natives of Kyushu.

Hearing Wang Ziwei's remarks, Yang Lu shook his head and said: "Any reform has to pay a price, and tearing it down and starting over is the most costly option. It would be fine if only a few people died, but if there is a big chaos in the entire society, it will lead to If part of the inheritance of the world of cultivation is permanently cut off, just like the second crisis of heaven, it will cause a great setback for the entire Kyushu civilization."

"so what?"

Yang Lu took a deep breath and said: "So tearing it down and starting over will not solve the problem! Even if we take a step back, Mo Yunlan's plan to tear it down and start over is really successful. As time goes by, the same crisis will break out again. At that time, is it necessary for the second Mo Yunlan to step forward and push the entire world of cultivation all over again? This cycle of crisis breaking out again and again, and then overthrowing and starting over again, will only make the world over again in the end. The civilization of the world of cultivation is gradually falling into the abyss and will never be restored!"

Wang Ziwei's expression remained unchanged, and he said coldly: "So what if the catastrophe is irreversible? It is not necessarily a bad thing for Kyushu civilization, a civilization with its own original sin, to be destroyed. If one day in the future, all the cultivation inheritance passed down from ancient times is cut off, and all residents of Kyushu will become If you become a mortal who cannot practice cultivation, the Jiuzhou civilization may be able to be reborn from the ashes!"

It has to be said that Wang Ziweineng has been the assistant to the president of Lingshi Reserve Bank for a long time, and has studied with Li Qingyang for many years. This vision and knowledge alone are far beyond the comparison of ordinary cultivators. Being criticized by him like this, even Yang Lu He has always been known as an eloquent person, but he also feels quite speechless.

Because what Wang Ziwei said really makes sense!

If you ask ordinary Kyushu natives what a mortal civilization without cultivators would be like, they most likely cannot imagine it. Even if they can imagine it, they will probably refer to outlying island areas as a template.

It's just that in the context of Kyushu's cultivation world, outlying islands have always been synonymous with "the shame of civilization".

Under the soft constraints of heaven, the civilization of Kyushu cultivation world has developed the prototype of modern society. Although there is still an insurmountable class gap between cultivators and mortals, and concepts such as natural human rights have not been invented, at least it is no longer There will be frequent killings without a bottom line, and society can maintain a relatively stable form.

On the other hand, the mortal society on the outlying islands seems to still be in the dark age of the earth.

The lords of the outlying islands are not bound by the law of heaven. They are attacking back and forth like the princes of the ancient earth in the Middle Ages. Bloody killings and coups occur from time to time. Even the most basic social order requires the intervention of external forces to achieve balance. Although the Kyushu Cultivation World is not a civilized society, the level of civilization on the outlying islands is obviously worse than that of the Cultivation World.

Therefore, from the perspective of ordinary cultivators, if there were no cultivation spells in this world, the ultimate form of the entire society would probably be an extra-large outlying island. This is definitely a very scary thing.

However, Yang Lu was different.

Because the earth where Yang Lu came from was really a world without cultivators.

Although until the end of World War II, the civilization of the earth was like a jungle arena where the jungle was dominated by the weak and the strong, and was no better than the civilization on the outlying islands, the progress of the entire earth's civilization, as well as the iteration of social ethics and morality, were much faster. Far more than the Kyushu cultivation civilization, especially after entering the 21st century, the civilization level of the earth's civilization has undoubtedly surpassed the current Kyushu world in all aspects, and has also falsified the "world without cultivators will only become worse" "Hypothesis.

But Yang Lu didn't expect that Wang Ziwei, a person with no experience of life on earth, could actually think of this level!

Seeing that Yang Lu was silent for a long time, Wang Ziwei chuckled and said, "What? Could it be that Advisor Yang has been convinced by me?"

Yang Lu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Even if what you said makes sense, every civilization is unique. Since the Kyushu civilization itself relies on cultivation magic and has developed to the point where it is today, of course we should do our best. Can change it, instead of hoping to gamble and start over..."

"I didn't expect Consultant Yang to be so compassionate!"

Hearing the other party's hint that he was not a good person, Yang Lu shook his head again and said: "I'm not here to argue with you today, and it's useless even if you convince me. The most important thing is what Mo Yunlan thinks." Yun Lan is different from you. He is not from the Spirit Clan. He chose to hand over the supreme power of the Wuliang Sword Sect to Lin Jianxing, and then deliberately hid behind him. It was just because there was no other way. And I have the legacy of the Ascended Immortal in my hand. , can definitely provide Mo Yunlan with a better choice!"

Wang Ziwei said with some disapproval: "Although the three ascended immortals have boundless magic power, I don't think they have the ability to solve the so-called fourth spiritual stone financial crisis. If they really have this ability, even if they don't personally eliminate this hidden danger, They should tell President Li Qingyang how to solve the problem, but they did not choose to do so. President Li Qingyang mentioned it more than once during his lifetime. It may be that the Ascended Immortal did not come up with a solution to the problem until the end, so they I will delay this matter and rely on the so-called 'wisdom of future generations'."

After saying that, Wang Ziwei turned his attention to Mingzhu.

If there is anyone in the Kyushu cultivation world who best understands the true thoughts of the Ascending Immortal, Mingzhu, the former royal white glove of the Ascending Immortal, must be one of them.

However, Mingzhu did not give a definite answer, but frowned in a rare way: "To be honest, I'm not very sure..."

Seeing the doubtful looks from Yang Lu and Wang Ziwei, Mingzhu slowly said: "You are right about one thing. Lu Yang did mention the issue of the fourth Lingshi financial crisis, and clearly pointed out that, This is an inevitable disaster that will occur in the future, and he really did not do anything to prepare for it..."

Hearing what Ming Zhu said, Wang Ziwei immediately gave Yang Lu an unexpected expression. However, Ming Zhu suddenly changed the subject and said: "But if you say that the Ascended Immortal is incapable of solving problems, I don't really believe it! I It feels like his attitude towards this matter is actually more like, how should I put it..."

It seems that he can't think of a suitable adjective. Mingzhu pondered the language for a long time under the gaze of Wang Ziwei and Yang Lu, and finally found a word that he thought was appropriate:

"...It should be said that he is indifferent!"
