#778 - The contradiction of development

"My opinion? What opinion could I have? They can plant them wherever they want. It's not like they're thinking of planting them on some dragon vein node, trying to activate those ethereal things?"

"This disciple believes that such a possibility exists."

"Then let them go find it. There are plenty of people in the country who are good at that sort of thing. Just let me know when they've found a good spot."

"This disciple believes that, perhaps even within the relevant departments, it's not a monolithic entity. There might be disputes over the planting locations of those five saplings. Maybe they want to use this as an opportunity to have you make a decision."

"Heh, how is it that in just these few decades, dissenting voices have emerged within them again?"

"It's not that serious, but this matter is, after all, of great importance. Where the saplings are planted will almost certainly determine the prosperity of that area. And the people in the relevant departments come from all over the country.

"What, do they want to build a few sanatoriums or luxury residential areas around them?"

"As long as it doesn't affect the main mission, and as long as they can justify it on some minor details, this disciple believes that many people will have some thoughts about this."

"Hmm… This matter is understandable. It's about pursuing benefits and avoiding harm. I've seen this kind of thing many times. What's the government's opinion?"

"They hope that you can consider the planting locations from the perspective of public interest, but as the current capital of China, the area surrounding Yanjing needs to have a sapling."

"…That's appropriate."

…

In short, this event, which in a short period of time seemed to be closely related only to the cultivators of the superhuman world, ultimately involved many additional interests.

Especially for a sufficiently large and comprehensive entity, at certain times, economic, political, cultural, and other factors will have an impact on it.

Anyway, as long as you look at the problem from a different angle, you can always find viewpoints and arguments that conform to your own interests.

For example, the above-mentioned requirement to plant trees around Yanjing was a decision made based on such considerations.

This situation certainly cannot be said to be wrong. After all, as the capital of the country, the land of Yanjing does need sufficient power to protect it. This is of utmost importance in any era.

Whether it is the military force deployed in the surrounding areas on the surface, or the superhuman force belonging to the country in secret, a sufficiently professional and well-conditioned training ground is indeed needed nearby.

However, if we continue to extrapolate along this angle, it seems that Modu, Yangcheng, and even Xiangjiang and Tianjinwei, which are also important towns in the country, also meet this procedural standard and need to be guarded.

But the problem is that there are only five places to plant trees. If we really did that, it would be a waste of resources.

Therefore, except for the Yanjing area, which needs to have a tree planted due to special circumstances, the relevant departments have now directly handed over the other four places to Liang Yue…

In addition, besides the country's side, there are actually many such disputes and disagreements in the superhuman world.

For example, the Buddhist forces in China's superhuman world have won a total of two places to plant trees this time.

The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau relies on its profound heritage and single line of inheritance, occupying one tree alone, which is nothing to say.

But in the middle of the journey, the Buddhist side was actually two Buddhist forces, combining their forces in one place, competing for a place, and these two famous temples belong to the north and south, geographically far apart.

In this way, differences arise.

After all, this is related to the prosperity and development of the inheritance, and there is no room for humility at this time.

Around the only sapling planting location, the question of whose house it will fall into, for a time, the two sides began to carry out friendly consultations and debates.

Later, even other famous temples in the Central Earth Buddhism, and many monk forces in the superhuman world, also gathered closer, helping to smooth things over and stand in the outer circle.

After all, although there are not many Buddhist inheritance lines in China, the residences and mountain tops of all parties are not lacking at all.

Now there is only one place, the standard is that there are many monks and little porridge, which is not easy to distribute.

According to Bao Yun, in the previous period of time, since it was determined that the Buddhist family only got the right to plant a sapling this time.

The Buddhist family in the world, a large number of monks began to gather together, gathering from all over the world, arguing endlessly for this matter, which lasted for half a month.

In the end, no one could convince anyone.

Without a way, they can only retreat to the next best thing, take this sapling place, gather the power of the entire Buddhist superhuman world, and apply to the country alone for a public area that is sparsely populated, ready to be used as a holy place for practice in Central Earth Buddhism.

The core location of this area is naturally used by the two temples that jointly fought for the sapling place, and the surrounding area is handed over to monks from other courtyards for distribution.

In addition, like this kind of contradiction, most of the forces that have won the place to plant trees by joining forces with many factions and families have such problems.

Unless one party's geographical location and the conditions offered in all aspects are too superior, this can alleviate the advantages and disadvantages.

Otherwise, they can only take the model of applying to the country for a public area like the Buddhist family.

Relatively speaking, the various Taoist mountain gates can almost be regarded as a great victory and the most profitable in this competition.

Although the scale of Taoist cultivation forces in the superhuman world is no less than that of Buddhism all over the country, they are better than the large number of places, sufficient land to distribute, and the regional Taoist temples under the various branches are mostly inherited in an orderly manner.

The advantage of this is that there are enough cultivation resources and practice areas available.

If it doesn't work, you can also take the model of the Tianzong Mountain Gate in Mount Taibai, where a group of disciples practice on the main peak, and some idle clouds and wild cranes and hidden practitioners continue to live in seclusion on the branches and even the surrounding area.

It's nothing more than building a few more Taoist temples in the area farther away from the sect's mountain gate.

Once the emerald green sapling is planted, at the current stage, the total amount of heaven and earth spiritual energy can be fully tolerated, and a large part of it that is too late to be absorbed and refined will be scattered in vain.

Therefore, recently, those superhuman disciples who have walked out of the various Taoist branch veins and ran to other places to establish their own mountain tops and temples have recently begun to return to the main veins of their mountain gates.

In addition, all the various sects that have won the place to plant trees in this event have recently been consciously expanding the channels for recruiting disciples in the sect.

The inheritance of sects in the superhuman world is different from those of innate superhumans. As long as their qualifications are sufficient and they have someone to guide them, they can embark on the path of cultivation.

Now that the problem of heaven and earth spiritual energy is about to be solved, the inheritance of various sects that were originally restricted due to the end of the Dharma era is also about to usher in a turning point.

In this case, the conscious and controlled expansion of younger disciples has naturally been put on the agenda.

In this regard, the country is actually somewhat taboo.

After all, no one wants some uncontrolled forces to run out of their own country for no reason.

Restriction, indifference, and cold treatment have always been the official attitude towards the superhuman world.

But Liang Yue's appearance has broken this balance to some extent.

It's not just because he created the emerald green sapling, a device for converting heaven and earth spiritual energy.

His existence actually symbolizes an uncontrollable folk factor.

Intentionally or unintentionally, Liang Yue has been placed in the center of this contradiction.

It can be imagined that this development entanglement from the official and folk sides will inevitably become the inevitable trend of the times in the next long period of time.

The more prosperous the world of cultivation, the more this contradiction will be highlighted.
