Chapter 68 Analysis of the Situation in the Five Countries
On Mingxin's flying boat, Fa Jing gave a brief introduction to the current situation to the three of them, originally they were just hearsay with Baiyun City, but now they have an exact understanding in Fa Jing's mouth.
In the nearly two years since they came to Baiyun City, the four major factions have always maintained a strong blockade of the Zhou State, making the various forces in the Zhou State increasingly unable to stand the exploitation of the Four Kingdoms. But they didn't dare to attack the four major factions, so they could only attack the industries in various parts of Qingsongmen. Under the pressure of the four major factions, the forced Qingsongmen also had to detach some disciples to suppress the rebellion of these forces in the four places.
There are only five small sects in the Immortal Cultivation Sect of the Five Kingdoms, and the rest can only be regarded as the forces that occupy the mountain as the king. Although many of them are modeled after the sect, they lack the most important thing to be a sect, which is the spiritual vein. The spiritual vein is a necessary thing to maintain a sect, because only the spiritual vein can be used by a large number of disciples to practice at the same time, even if the resources are insufficient, there is no need to do all kinds of ways to earn spirit stones like other forces.
Of course, these forces are not a place to obtain spirit stones, the reason why they occupy the mountain as the king is because there is a spiritual spring in this place. The spiritual spring is the primary state of the spiritual vein, and it also continuously produces spiritual energy and produces a small amount of spiritual stones. It's just that the spiritual energy generated by the spiritual spring every day is too small, and it can only maintain dozens of monks to cultivate at the same time, so there are various forces large and small, some of them are attached to the sect, and some have joined the Scattered Cultivation Alliance, and the conflict between them is even more serious than the Scattered Cultivation Alliance.
Now that the strength of Qingsongmen is controlled by the four major factions, the management of the forces in the territory is insufficient, and these people have begun to attack Qingsongmen's industries in various places, even if Qingsongmen has sent some disciples to suppress it, but it has become more and more intense. They are not afraid of Qingsongmen settling accounts after the autumn, after all, this disaster was caused by Qingsongmen himself, and now there are so many people who have made a move, Qingsongmen will not be able to kill them all at that time, as long as they are not caught.
Seeing that the rule of Qingsongmen in the Zhou was about to be overthrown, Qingsongmen also had to send three Jindan period monks to suppress the Quartet, at this moment, the four major factions sent sixteen Jindan stage masters to the front line to provoke, threatening that if Qingsongmen's Jindan period monks in Qingsongxia did not come out, they would join forces to break the Qingsongmen's frontline camp and completely attack the Zhou State. Qingsongmen had no choice but to send ten Jindan-stage masters to the front line to continue the confrontation with the four major factions, and in Qingsongxia, there were only five Jindan-stage masters left at this time, and even including Qingsong Ancestor, who was breaking through, it can be said that the headquarters of Qingsongmen's defense had been reduced to the minimum at this time.
Even Zhang Zhiping could easily see what the intentions of the four major factions were, that is, to force the Qingsong Sect to continuously weaken the strength of the sect, and finally send monks to interrupt the breakthrough of the Qingsong Ancestor. If you don't do this, you can gather dozens of Jindan stage masters to attack Qingsong Gorge, which is guarded by more than a dozen Jindan stage masters, so how many of them will have to die to succeed? Jindan stage monks are unfortunately very fateful, and the value of a piece of Tianwen Stone is not enough for them to work so hard, so they use such a yang strategy to divide the strength in Qingsong Gorge. But does the Qingsongmen dare to allow their rule to be overthrown?
Let's not say that even if the Qingsong Ancestor has the help of the Heavenly Pattern Stone, it is a very unlikely thing to break through the Yuan Infant Period, let's just say that there is a great chance of success, if the four major factions easily attack the Zhou State, then they will inevitably understand that this matter is endless, and the Qingsong Gate is waiting to settle accounts after the breakthrough; At that time, it will still be impossible for the Qingsong Ancestor to break through in time, because the time required to break through the Yuanying is not short, and the five major factions will completely tear their faces, and the situation of the Qingsong Gate will be even worse than now.
The battle between the sects is not weaker than the great power competition in the previous life, and even due to the individual strength of the immortal cultivators, the variables in it are even more than in the previous life, but after years of development in the immortal cultivation world, the battle between the sects has a certain tacit understanding, and it will never be easy to start a decisive battle. After all, everyone is here to cultivate immortals, and there is no need to fight to the death for some petty profits. Moreover, they themselves are in the dominant position in their respective regions, and if they really mess up the situation, it will be against them.
Zhang Zhiping according to Fajing said some of the situation, combined with what he saw and heard, finally sorted out the context of the struggle between the five major factions, all in all, the current situation is that Qingsongmen fights according to the tacit understanding, and everyone also comes according to the tacit understanding, how can it ensure that the pattern of the five major factions ruling the five countries remains unchanged; if Qingsongmen wants to tear their faces, then the four major factions will directly break through the front line and completely strangle Qingsongmen, it depends on whether your Qingsong ancestor can break through in time, this possibility is really low.
To put it simply, the other four major factions neither want Qingsong Ancestor to break through, nor do they want to fight with Qingsongmen, so everything is good to maintain the previous situation.
Now the situation has developed to a critical point, and the place where the Qingsong Ancestor retreats has begun to have a vision of breaking through the Yuan Infant Stage, which shows that the Qingsong Ancestor is about to break through, and at this time, the defense in the Qingsong Gorge has also dropped to an extreme, and the four major factions are afraid that they will soon send people to raid the Qingsong Gorge to break the breakthrough of the Qingsong Ancestor.
Although the Qingsong Ancestor can be respected in the Five Kingdoms Immortal Cultivation Realm, but looking at the entire Immortal Cultivation Realm, he is not a top person, it is impossible to compare with those legendary geniuses who can break through quickly, his breakthrough probability is already very low, if he wants to be disturbed by anything, it is really not even a chance to break through at all.
There is another problem here, which is the problem of the Scattered Cultivation Alliance. The Scattered Cultivation Alliance is a behemoth that can compete with the five major factions, and if it wants to end, it will definitely have a huge impact on the entire situation. At that time, the Scattered Cultivation Alliance would definitely not mind taking the opportunity to attack the five major factions and turn the Five Kingdoms Cultivation Realm into a place completely controlled by the Scattered Cultivators. I'm afraid this is also an important reason why the five major factions have not completely torn their faces.
However, the Scattered Cultivation Alliance probably doesn't want the Qingsong Ancestor to break through the Yuan Infant Stage. A high-level monk in the Yuan Infant Stage is enough to easily kill dozens of Jindan Stage Cultivators to join forces, and the Scattered Cultivation Alliance can't stop it at all; and if the Qingsong Ancestor becomes a high-level monk in the Yuan Infant Stage, according to the practice of the Immortal Cultivation Realm, the Five Kingdoms Immortal Cultivation Realm will be classified as the cultivation place of the Qingsong Ancestor, and then the Scattered Cultivation Alliance will really have to look at the eyes of the Qingsong Ancestor.
No wonder Mingxin has always been unhurried, now that the breakthrough of Qingsong Ancestor is imminent, and the final decisive battle is coming, this Mingxin is not to help Qingsongmen, but to clean up the final mess, and even if Qingsongmen can block the raid of the four major factions, maybe he will secretly help the four major factions and interrupt the breakthrough of Qingsong Ancestor.
Zhang Zhiping sorted out the situation in front of him, and although it was only his own speculation, he thought that there was a great possibility that this would be the case; after all, so many books were not read in vain, and there were similar cases on some jade slips that recorded major historical events, and there were very few that succeeded in making breakthroughs in the end.
He couldn't help but feel a little worried about Qingsongmen in his heart, but this Mingxin was personally invited by the head of the sect Xuan Songzi, didn't he speculate about the current situation? Zhang Zhiping felt that it was a little impossible, after all, Xuan Songzi had always given him the impression that he was eloquent and strategic, and that Qingsongmen could stand out from the five major factions and become the first sect of the Five Kingdoms, relying not only on the strength of the ancestor of Qingsong, but also on the planning that Xuan Songzi had been planning all along.
