The Imperial Guard lived up to expectations and recaptured eight divisions in one fell swoop, and the entire Cheonan City was boiling. What will follow will be a national celebration!

However, in the Chengtian Hall of the Imperial Palace, it was solemn and even sad.

The Eastern Sage Emperor was on the throne, and there were a hundred and ten people standing in the two compartments below. They all hung their heads, and all of them stood solemnly in fear.

The Eastern Sage Emperor said unhurriedly: "This competition, it seems to be a victory, but in fact it is a big defeat! The three holy lands, the nine immortal streams, the four divine kingdoms, the twelve kingdoms, the twelve military regions, the ten major academies, plus the Ghost Wind Legion, a total of more than one hundred and twenty teams were dispatched. But what is the result? Except for the four teams of the Ghost Wind Legion, they remain intact. The best result for the rest of the team was more than half of the casualties. Even half of the team was either wiped out or killed or wounded. According to statistics, the rest of the people can't even form twenty teams. ”

The Eastern Sage Emperor's eyes were as sharp as stars, glanced at the monarch and ministers, and continued to say indifferently: "My dignified Xuanyuan Empire is equivalent to relying on one person to maintain the glory of the past! Is this glory? No! This is terrible, sad, and lamentable! I want to ask you, you are all representatives or people in charge of the Holy Land Immortal Stream and various places, tell me, what is going on? Could it be that the empire is really declining?"

The crowd hung their heads and said nothing. Things are there, I don't want to feel like there. In any case, keeping thirteen divisions is equivalent to ensuring that sixty-five teams qualify. Although it did not meet 80 percent of expectations, it was not too close. But if you think about it deeply, you really shudder. Of the thirteen divisions, eight were recaptured by Xin Ran and his siblings. And his brothers and sisters, all of whom had received the benefits of his elixir, suddenly improved their skills, and barely regained the competition area. This is really as the emperor said, the eight divisions are based on the power of one person.

Seeing that everyone was silent, the Eastern Sage Emperor continued: "I know, what you think is that the opponent has been blessed by the formation, and the responsibility for defeat does not lie with the team members, let alone you. But I have to ask, if your team members are also blessed by four or five times or even seven or eight times with the formation, will their physical strength and meridians be able to withstand it? Will the meridians directly burst and be destroyed, and will their bodies be able to withstand it?"

Everyone groaned for a moment, and their faces changed drastically. I know my own business. Weighing it slightly in their hearts, almost everyone came to the conclusion that the disciples' bodies simply couldn't withstand such super-intense blessings. The question of whether it can bear it has not been thought about by many people before. When I think about it now, I am shocked! Just in terms of endurance, my own disciples are not as good as people from other countries.

"It seems that you are all aware of it. His own disciples can't withstand such high-intensity blessings. What does this mean? It's my Xuanyuan Empire, is it basically not physically good? Obviously not. Since this is not the reason, it means that there is something wrong with your training intensity. There is no such thing as other countries, the training of the human body has reached the limit!"

The Eastern Saint Emperor paused, and then said, "What does this mean? It shows that our overall cultivation level has declined! It shows that the children of our country are too delicate, or they are already arrogant and lascivious. In the long run, it will inevitably threaten the national capital. Even, the day of the death of the country is not far away!"

The voice of the Eastern Sage Emperor did not carry a trace of fireworks. But everyone couldn't help but sweat. These are all bigwig-level characters, even if they move mountains and reclaim the sea, they don't sweat. But at this moment, beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on their foreheads.

They are all amazing and glamorous superfigures, and they don't need to be scolded by the emperor, they already understand the seriousness of the problem and how big the mistakes they have made.

It's not better than not knowing, it's more frightening. After a long period of peace, not only the children of the family have become exaggerated, but also the three holy lands, the nine immortal streams, the four divine kingdoms, the twelve kingdoms, the twelve military regions, and the major colleges and universities have also become superficial, and their cultivation level has naturally declined.

In the usual games, people don't take it seriously. Let the Xuanyuan Empire stand tall and always maintain the status of the boss. This time it was about the rise and fall of the country, and they all came up with the real thing. It completely exposed the fatal shortcomings of the Xuanyuan Empire's cultivation system, self-containment, arrogance, and so on.

"It's not entirely possible to say that this defeat is a bad thing. At the very least, to expose our mortal wounds. From that point on, it's a good thing. At least, we're not terminally ill yet. I found it early, and I still have to save it. If it is discovered dozens or even hundreds of years later, and then it is discovered again to the point where there is no cure, then it will really be ruined!"

The Eastern Sage Emperor said eloquently: "As for how to strengthen the intensity of cultivation and cultivate a true warrior, it is something you have to think about deeply, and it is also a matter of the next step. The immediate need is how to deal with this final. Whether to reorganize the team or compress the team, you have to think about it! The teams sent out from all over the place this time are already their strongest fighters. The combat power of the reconstituted team is bound to be much weaker. And the time for the final is only four months. Will you be able to greatly increase the combat power of your team in these four months? If you can't do that, don't let the children die. The cruelty of the finals, I am afraid that the competition will be counted several times or even dozens of times. If there is no particularly effective way to achieve the goal. In my opinion, it is better to reduce the number of clans, increase the overall combat power, and reduce unnecessary casualties. ”

These words of the Eastern Holy Emperor were mainly addressed to the Three Holy Lands and the Nine Great Immortals. The Three Holy Lands, the Medicine Emperor Valley, and the Nine Great Immortal Streams, are all holy places of cultivation with a long history. In the entire cultivation world, they are all behemoths. Although he did not fight against Emperor Dongsheng, he did not listen to the announcement. For these twelve sects, Emperor Dongsheng could not order, but could only discuss. It's up to them to put forward their own opinions.

The benefits of entering the Spirit Crystal Star are really too great! Although these twelve sects, if they really enter the Spirit Crystal Star and obtain benefits, they have to hand over half of them to the state and get half of them themselves, which is really too tempting. If they insist on not giving up, Emperor Dongsheng must also respect them.

The gains and losses are all explained thoroughly, and how to decide is their business. Anyway, the Eastern Sage Emperor is already thinking about removing the Imperial Guard and the four teams of the Ghost Wind Legion, and keeping them intact, and the remaining teams of the four major divine kingdoms, the twelve kingdoms, the twelve military regions, and the ten major academies are all integrated and compressed. Unified use of formations for blessing, individuals who fail to meet the requirements are cleared, and teams that cannot meet the overall standards are simply disbanded, and it is better to lack than abuse. Even the four teams of the Ghost Wind Legion have to be strengthened in unison. Guaranteed to reach the best level.
