Chapter 376 Balanced Development

Yun Youzi's arrangement for Zheng Qian to undergo trials in Youfeng Rift Valley was unexpected by Wu Chengming and Dongfang Duba, yet it was also perfectly reasonable.

The Ghost Wind Rift Valley is the southeastern border between the human race and the demon race. It is a place of constant warfare and a testing ground for the rise of geniuses and prodigies.

Yun Youzi rose to prominence in Youfeng Rift Valley. Back then, he single-handedly overwhelmed all the heroes, roaring that those of the same realm would kneel and beg for a defeat, causing the demon race to dare not fight him, thus creating a legend, and the righteous path became a false god.

Similarly, the Ghostly Rift Valley was also a place of sorrow for Yun Youzi. His monstrous combat power terrified the demon race, and ultimately, when he became a pseudo-god, a powerful demon attacked, shattering his true core and nearly causing his demise.

“If Zheng Qian goes to the Ghost Wind Rift Valley, then all the geniuses from the Southern Region should also go to the Ghost Wind Rift Valley for trials.” Wu Chengming looked at Dongfang Du Ba and asked for his opinion.

“No problem, we’ll go back to our sect now to make arrangements and notify all the sects and forces to go to the Ghost Wind Rift Valley for trials. We’ll gather there in twenty days.” Dongfang Gambler completely agreed. Although the Ghost Wind Rift Valley was fraught with danger, it was also the best place to train geniuses.

Inside the pavilion, Zheng Qian and his group were also holding a meeting. Zheng Qian sat in the center, with Chen Tianrui representing the Tianmai Sect to his left, Feng Wuhen representing the Fifty Kingdoms to his right, and Ding Yu and other geniuses from the Vajra Sect and other forces on the periphery.

"Balanced development among all forces is the prerequisite for common progress. And the first thing to do to achieve balanced development and common progress is to share education. For example, sharing cultivation techniques does not mean giving them away for free, but rather setting prices so that they can be exchanged at equivalent value, thereby raising the overall strength of the Southern Region."

"The Fifty Kingdoms is the most populous region, yet it is the poorest and most desolate land. Our respective forces should not only focus on the talents within their own sphere of influence. With such a large population base, the Fifty Kingdoms is a treasure trove for discovering talent. One strong sect is not as good as ten strong sects, and ten strong sects are not as good as the overall strength of the Southern Region."

Zheng Qian temporarily organized a gathering and earnestly promoted the idea that once these forces entered the fifty countries, they would lead them to a qualitative leap in development.

Chen Tianrui said in a deep voice, "The Heavenly Vein Sect will set up five hundred training grounds in the fifty countries to spread the methods of cultivation and improve the overall combat strength of the fifty countries. As for other specific matters, I will return to the sect and report to the sect leader to designate the fifty countries as a selection site for the Heavenly Vein Sect to cultivate geniuses. I will also submit an application to the sect. As long as they are not evil people, they can purchase the corresponding cultivation methods by offering equivalent items or money."

Zheng Qian was very excited. He hadn't expected Chen Tianrui to be so helpful. He clasped his hands in thanks and said, "Thank you!"

Chen Tianrui hurriedly returned the greeting and said, "Master's concept of balanced development and shared education has opened the door to a new century for the development of the Southern Region. Our various sects should no longer work in isolation as before, hoarding their cultivation techniques and unwilling to share them. If the Southern Region wants to develop, Master's concept of shared education must be implemented."

Chen Tianrui was deeply shocked. Zheng Qian's proposals for balanced development and shared education overturned his worldview. Similarly, he fully supported Zheng Qian's ideas.

If the Southern Region wants to develop, it must abandon the old ideas of the older generation, such as not easily passing on the Dao, not spreading the Dharma to outsiders, and passing it on to men but not to women.

There are only wrong names, not wrong nicknames.

Chen Tianrui's nickname, "The Star of Wisdom," is enough to prove that his intelligence is widely recognized in the Southern Region, and his vision is naturally broad. When Zheng Qian proposed balanced development and shared education, he was the first to support it.

Ding Yu squinted; he too saw a business opportunity, and at the same time, hope for the sect's development. The disciples of the Shadowless Sect were quite talented, but lacked suitable advanced techniques. If Zheng Qian's proposed educational sharing could be realized, the Shadowless Sect would undoubtedly reach a new level.

Not only the Shadowless Sect, but also the Vajra Sect and the Saber Gang saw development prospects and business opportunities. Zheng Qian's concept of balanced development meant allowing powerful forces to lead their growth. Similarly, they were willing to lead weaker forces to develop as well. And shared education undoubtedly opened a path to prosperity for their sects.

You Haoshen didn't leave; they sat on the outer edge. After all, their patriarch hadn't spoken yet, so they couldn't leave first. Dongfang Yifeng also didn't leave; since Dongfang the Gambler hadn't spoken either, he naturally had to wait for his patriarch. Neither Dongfang Yifeng nor Ye Lanshuang left.

Wu Ye stood quietly in the dark corner, listening to Zheng Qian's speech without any expression, but his eyes were very complicated, and it was impossible to know what he was thinking.

"I, the Southern Night Extreme Sect, agree with Zheng Qian's proposal of balanced development and shared education," You Haoshen suddenly said, something no one expected.

You Haoshen sat down opposite Zheng Qian and continued, "The Southern Region needs development, and relying solely on the support of the five major powers is not a long-term solution. Zheng Qian is right; balanced development and shared education are indeed the way to develop the Southern Region, so the Southern Night Extreme Sect fully agrees."

Zheng Qian never expected that You Haoshen would have such a broad vision; he truly deserves to be one of the seven great talents of the Southern Region.

The two largest powers in the Southern Region agreed to Zheng Qian's development plan, which excited the smaller sects, who saw hope for their future. Advanced cultivation techniques and the economy were the main factors hindering their development, along with a shortage of talent in their regions. If Zheng Qian's ideas could gain the sects' approval and be vigorously promoted, they would have a chance to acquire advanced cultivation techniques. Talent could also be sourced from the fifty populous kingdoms.

Everyone was confident that the geniuses they selected from fifty countries would remain loyal to their sect and would not be lost.

Zheng Qian looked at Dongfang Yifeng. Now that the two major forces had made their statements, it was naturally his turn to do so.

Dongfang Yifeng straightened his posture and asked in a deep voice, "What are your conditions for me to agree to?"

Zheng Qian smiled slightly: "I haven't decided yet."

Zheng Qian's previous idea was to have Dongfang Yifeng arrange for the Dongfang family's influence to develop in the fifty countries. This way, without them having to take action, the Demon Radiance Sect would have no choice but to withdraw from the fifty countries, restoring peace to the fifty countries.

Unexpectedly, various forces have flocked to the fifty kingdoms. Whether the Eastern Family joins or not is irrelevant. The Demon Radiance Sect will naturally be targeted and ultimately forced to withdraw from the fifty kingdoms. Therefore, Zheng Qian postponed this condition, deciding to address it later.

Dongfang Yifeng was stunned for a moment; he hadn't expected Zheng Qian to have thought of that. After a few seconds, Dongfang Yifeng said, "The Dongfang family will be residing in fifty countries. I will decide on the specifics after I return and discuss them."

Ye Lanshuang chuckled: "I am just a weak woman and cannot make such a decision, but I personally support Zheng Qian's ideas. After returning to the sect, I will report the truth and strive to join everyone's team and develop together."

Ye Lanshuang's words were watertight, neither refusing nor agreeing, which surprised Zheng Qian, who then looked at Wu Ye.

Wu Ye spoke calmly and slowly: "The Miannan Empire will send a delegation to Anshi Kingdom to discuss alliance matters with Crown Prince Feng Wuhen."

Zheng Qian nodded, having also guessed Wu Ye's identity.

Those who can directly decide to send out an envoy are either princes or crown princes; no one else would dare to agree to such a request.
