Chapter 948: Chapters 896-897 Ending of Life Simulation Internal Competition in the Daming World_2

And this is actually just one of the many events, neither too big nor too small, that have taken place over the last hundred or so years. At its core, it’s merely a matter of reputation and title, but the real changes were happening elsewhere.

Interest moves the heart; for cultivators, what they value most is anything that can aid their own cultivation. This is what they find most indispensable.

Let’s talk about the Great Ming World, after its ascension. Not only did the essence of Heaven and Earth change to accommodate the existence of True Immortals, but more importantly, this realm became much larger, vast, and boundless.

Compared to the original Great Ming World, the new realm has birthed new continents, mountain ranges, and oceans. All these regions are no less than the original land, having expanded more than twofold.

In contrast to the original territories where the Great Ming Divine Dynasty occupied more than half, with the rest divided among the various human clan powers and the Demon Race, the new regions are completely blank slates, untouched by any living beings.

What does this imply? It implies endless resources.

As the two worlds merged, Pei Xuanjing tirelessly expanded the Taoist Academy, and more and more cultivators emerged, just as countless martial artists did years ago within the Great Ming Empire, all plunging into internal competition.

This led to a problem: there weren’t enough resources to go around.

On the cultivation path, aside from those with exceptional talent, ordinary cultivators often encounter obstacles in their cultivation, hence the need for elixirs and spiritual materials to help them progress further.

Even those with exceptional talent are rare, and the true makeup of the cultivation world is indeed these average cultivators.

Moreover, even if those with exceptional talent don’t need elixirs and spiritual materials to break through barriers, they still need to compete with others. Whether it’s elixirs for healing or the crafting of divine weapon treasures, they have similar demands for spiritual materials.

Even though the Sky Wasteland realm is teeming with countless beings, not all of them are able to embark on the path of cultivation due to limitations from their affiliations and origins.

However, in the Great Ming World, it is entirely different. Pei Xuanjing’s Taoist Academy was undoubtedly a monumental establishment that astounded the many powers of Tianhuang.

These forces were not blind to the benefits, but they were also aware that in a balanced power dynamic, none could be as magnanimously selfless.

Even with the exemplary model of the Taoist Academies in the Great Ming World right before them, these major powers intended to learn but ended up merely establishing their own affiliated schools, which could not compare to the egalitarian treatment at the Taoist Academy.

One must admit that the success of Pei Xuanjing’s Taoist Academy involved luck, but even more so, it was due to his impartial generosity and open dissemination of cultivation methods, which other forces simply could not match.

If the beings from Tianhuang had continued living there, it wouldn’t have mattered much. But the key point is that they returned to the Great Ming World and discovered the existence of the Taoist Academy.

Therefore, once these beings returned, the number of students at the academy grew exponentially, and thus the academy had to expand by adding countless new branches. As a result, even some senior students took on the role of instructors, teaching the younger generations.

An even more exaggerated situation was that not only the larger powers but smaller powers as well, upon realizing their teaching capabilities were inferior to those of the Taoist Academy, directly sent their disciples to the academy for education, paying a hefty tuition fee without hesitation.

Over the years, with such a large base of students at the academy, there were bound to be some who were exceptionally outstanding. These unquestionably became the hallmarks of the academy, explaining why such outrageous events occurred.

As more and more of the human race embarked on the path of cultivation, it was as if history was repeating itself from when the Great Ming Empire first disseminated the Martial Classics, and countless martial artists emerged. Resource scarcity led to internal competition among the martial artists.

Back then, the internal competition among the martial artists of the Great Ming Empire was directed outward, incorporating territories beyond the border. This, along with the Revival of Heaven and Earth, helped ease some pressure; otherwise, the Great Ming Empire would have faced pervasive conflicts.

Countless members of the human race embarked on the path of cultivation, and although ascending to higher levels of the Spirit Realm wasn’t so simple after the Heavenly and Earthly Ascension, the threshold to the Spirit Realm was at least several times lower than it had been.

Among these countless cultivators who ascended to the Spirit Realm, even many forces were unable to take them all under their wing, resulting in most of them becoming Independent Practitioners or still hovering outside the Taoist Academy system.

However, it was precisely these cultivators who had just stepped into the Spirit Realm that needed resources the most. Without mentors, the majority of their talents were average, and they were in greater need of elixirs and spiritual materials.

So what now? How should this problem be resolved?

Some couldn’t help but turn their gaze toward the Demon Race, after all, if one could follow the Great Ming Empire’s method of solving problems by swallowing the Demon Race’s territories and exterminating them, there would be no doubt that the current problems faced by the human race could be alleviated.

“But is the Demon Race so easy to exterminate?”

Not to mention that the Demon Race also had True Immortals in command. Although slightly fewer in number than the human race, they were not so easily suppressed.

The Revival of Heaven and Earth also brought countless benefits to the human race, while likewise greatly enhancing the strength of the Demon Race. Who knew how many beasts, that were once in ignorance, had their spiritual intelligence awakened during the Heaven and Earth Ascension, and began walking the path of cultivation when the Creation Profound Mystery descended.

If the human race waged war against the Demon Race, even if a victory could be secured, the outcome would inevitably be a Pyrrhic one, without much deviation.

“Perhaps the slaughter between the human race and Demon Race could not only weaken the Demon Race but also reduce the number of human cultivators, achieving two aims with one action,” some with darker thoughts pondered in their hearts.

Indeed, it was a good solution to leverage the war between the human and Demon Races to inflict damage on both sides, to weaken the Demon Race and reduce the number of human cultivators, easing the severity of the internal competition.

Unfortunately, this simply wasn’t feasible. Firstly, cultivators were not fools. On the contrary, those who succeeded in cultivation might have complex personalities, but they all had a survival instinct, especially Independent Practitioners, for whom being cautious was the primary law of survival.

Moreover, inciting war between the human and Demon Races is not a decision that ordinary powerhouses could make. It required the will of the upper echelons of the human race, such as the many True Immortals.

The various Human Tribe True Immortals would not allow it, as the existence of the human race was related to the Qi Luck enjoyed by these powerhouses. If the human race was weakened, it would mean that their interests were compromised.

And just at this time, new territories formed by the forces of heaven and earth appeared, a vast Unowned Land sprouting countless spiritual materials birthed by the Heaven and Earth Ascension’s Creation Profound Mystery, immediately attracting countless cultivators and forces to act.

Countless cultivators, as well as forces from all sides, decisively began to dispatch people to this region upon discovery, staking claims to the land, establishing outposts, and collecting spiritual materials.

There was no choice, the world was too competitive now, with countless cultivators seeking to explore the path to Longevity, each of them harboring in their hearts the aspiration to reach the Peak and achieve Immortality, even the lowest-tier cultivators.

Especially those who were alone and unsupported; compared to the disciples of major forces, they were even more decisive and ruthless. For the slightest chance of survival, they would strike boldly and show no mercy.

Many forces were also injured by the internal competition, suffering and rejoicing at the same time.

Although the increasing number of cultivators meant they could recruit more disciples, they could grow their power and expand their influence more quickly.

However, the same increase in disciples meant that these forces needed a significant amount of resources to support them. Even with profound foundations and accumulated resources, these forces were starting to struggle to support the rapidly increasing number of disciples.

Unlike Independent Practitioners who could sustain themselves alone, Sect Forces needed to distribute resources reasonably and more importantly, keep pace with their competitors.
