Stop it, Taoist, Your Fight almost Ruins the DAO!-Chapter 411 - 304: Great Qin’s Strategy, Reunion with an Old Acquaintance, Jianxie Sect, What Rank Are You!_2

Compared to Da Yue’s offshore balancing strategy, Great Qin’s aggressive invasion was clearly more to his liking.

At this moment, Yi Chen understood a bit more why Great Qin decided to hold a "Great Qin Legal Assembly."

If his predictions were correct, all this was due to the vast expenses of the Eastern Continent’s Great Attraction Formation and the continued disputes among the four Dao Sect factions, two Buddhist Sects, six Demon Sect parties, and four neutral major cultivation forces.

Who should contribute more, who should give less, how to calculate, and how to divide the final profits were issues all major sects couldn’t circumvent.

Clearly, as the leading force, Great Qin was also very troubled by the wrangling of the various factions, hence the organization of this "Great Qin Legal Assembly."

"The young cultivators of Eastern Continent’s various factions who have not surpassed three hundred years of bone age may come forth to engage in combat, determine the victor, and we also welcome cultivators from outside the sixteen sects who are confident in their profound cultivation to partake in the competition."

"Hehe, this clearly shows a well-thought-out maneuver."

"I estimate that the Millennium Emperor is worried that the top cultivators fighting would result in life and death decisions and create a situation they cannot control, after all, even if both sides were to sustain heavy losses, distinguishing a winner would be meaningless if it resulted in the exhaustion of top Eastern Continent combat power."

"But if we compare the cultivation of those under three hundred years of age, that’s quite appropriate. The more people at this stage with strong cultivation, it signifies the sect’s foundation is stronger. Using this to determine the rank of the sixteen major sects is also not a bad new method to control the intensity."

"At that time, determining the allocation of the sixteen pre-divided resource packs based on ranking leaves no room for fault-finding. The rules are there, and sects with strength and potential have priority in selection, which is very reasonable."

"By inviting fellow Daoists from all over to join, it’s probably also an attempt to warm up for a future large-scale battle and even a display of the combined might of the sixteen sects with Great Qin, to showcase their martial exploits to the other sects of Eastern Continent."

"Naming it the Great Qin Legal Assembly is less apt than calling it the Eastern Continent’s Total Mobilization Assembly."

Yi Chen’s thoughts spun rapidly, and for a moment, he became the ’arc of strategy,’ extrapolating the purpose of this Legal Assembly from Great Qin’s perspective.

"Great Qin is indeed quite generous, offering the ’Xuanpi Gate’ and the derived ’Celestial Divine Door Breath’ as first-place prizes in the doctrinal contest. Not to mention the liberal distribution of precious elixirs and Dao artifacts, and for those in the top ranks who are willing to join Great Qin, even high official positions and rich rewards are promised."

"This event should be a good opportunity to gauge the true standard of Eastern Continent’s cultivation elites."

With thoughts racing, Yi Chen was however pessimistic about Central Continent’s future.

Caged chickens enjoy the feed but fear the knife while wild cranes starve yet enjoy the vast skies.

Under the pressure of Great Qin as the catfish, the sects and empire of Eastern Continent have experienced mutual rivalry for ten thousand years, and under the enormous pressure of survival, both sides have made significant progress because only the strong survived. In contrast, Central Continent was gradually becoming corrupt and decadent, getting more and more lost amidst interpersonal relationships and factional struggles.

Being complacent time and again will lead to a sudden collapse one day when there’s nothing left to exploit.

If it comes to the completion of the Attraction Formation, as Yi Chen has observed in Eastern Continent, Central Continent is doomed without a doubt.

"But what does that have to do with me? I’m Yi Chengzi, the great elder of the Hehuan Sect. If Eastern Continent wins big, I’ll use the shell to go public, leading the Hehuan Sect to conquer Fengyun County."

"Although this is a temporary measure, it seems unlikely that anyone blind to their situation would dare to disregard my face and vie for it. And if someone truly can’t see reason and doesn’t understand, then I’ll just have to teach them about the Pure Yang Great Path."

Even though he was quite pessimistic about Central Continent’s future, Yi Chen was very optimistic about the future of Hidden Dragon Temple, as calm as an old dog, not panicking at all.

Of course, if the unexpected happened and there was an upset with Central Continent emerging victorious,

he would lead the Hidden Dragon Temple to take down the Hehuan Sect... after all, he couldn’t let Zhen Ruan be without a home.

As for why not protect the Hidden Dragon Temple with his status as Lord Tan Lang of the Self-Attained Realm, one has to know that the Self-Attained Realm is also within Great Qin’s sixteen major cultivation forces, this naturally concerns Yuan Jun.

"Damn it, Yi Chengzi, why are you so clever!"

"Do you know how much I envy and resent your extraordinary wisdom?" Find your next adventure on novelbuddy

"What? I am Yi Chengzi? Then it’s all right."

With a chuckle, Yi Chen slipped into a small alley. When he emerged from it, he had already transformed into the guise of ’Zhang San,’ the great elder of the Hehuan Sect.

The Great Qin Legal Assembly was still over a month away, and this didn’t affect Yi Chen’s plan to come to Moonwatch City for a bowl of Wang Ba soup.

....

....

By the lakeside of Moonwatch Lake stood a nine-story building called Moonwatch Tower, soaring over a hundred meters with a base of sixty-six meters, utterly inaccessible to those without cultivation methods.

However, the Moonwatch Tower’s approach of keeping people at arm’s length didn’t affect its business at all, but instead raised the establishment’s tone, attracting countless people.

As he approached the bottom of the tower, a humanoid figure suddenly plummeted from the sky, crashing down in front of Yi Chen like a log.

A middle-aged man with a long scar on his face floated down from above, a black boot furiously grinding and crushing the face of the person on the ground.

"Jianxie Sect, how dare you humiliate Sect Master Qinyun like this, you will face retribution!"

"The great elder Zhang San of the Hehuan Sect has heaven-reaching cultivation, he will surely not let you go unchallenged."

The person on the ground struggled to rise but was unable to resist the humiliating boot due to serious injuries and being mana-bound, issuing only desperate and resentful roars from his throat.

"Haha, the young master has spread the word, waiting for that mysterious great elder Zhang San for a long time, and not a single hair on Sect Master Qinyun has been touched. Now we’re merely having Sect Master Qin provide some singing and dancing for our amusement, what’s the rush?"
