Yun Yang did not interrupt and waited for Little Fatty to continue, obviously looking forward to the origin of the Celestial Luck Banner.
"It's been said that the number of Celestial Luck Banners is also fixed. When the Celestial Luck Banner appeared, there were a total of nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine banners in the world! "
"No matter when, the total number of Celestial Luck Banners will not change. Be it natural or man-made disasters, intentional or unintentional, they will not truly destroy the Celestial Luck Banner."
"Up to this day, the Celestial Luck Banners all have their own owners. It's impossible for the banner bearers to give them up voluntarily. Later on, if they want it, they can only take it by force!"
Little Fatty pondered for a long time before saying, "To me, the Celestial Luck Banner is actually like … well, like … the materialization of an official's seal in the secular world. You'll be treated according to your position. If you don't reach that position, you won't be treated like this. To be more specific … it's like a seventh-class county magistrate and a provincial governor in a novel … The salary between the two must be very different, right? The difference in power is like heaven and earth! The area under their jurisdiction is also like heaven and earth? The third party's attitude towards them will be quite different, won't it? … "
"Just tell me the difference directly!" Yun Yang was exasperated. 'Do I need you to tell me this? I come from that kind of world! '
"An analogy would be more concrete." Qian Duoduo said, "For a person to become a county magistrate, he needs to first learn knowledge, temper, take exams, and be recognized by the superiors. Only then can he accept the appointment and wield power. But there are only so many official positions. If you come to take up the post, what will the county magistrate you replace do? Will he resign, will he be dismissed, will he be prosecuted, or will he be killed? It all depends on the outcome of the game between you and him. That's all!"
Yun Yang said faintly, "It doesn't have to be so extreme. It's not impossible for the replaced to leave because of a promotion!"
Little Fatty was stunned for a moment before he finally said dejectedly, "Boss, your idea is unconventional and meaningful, but it's unrealistic and difficult to implement because there's no possibility of promotion with the Celestial Luck Banner."
Yun Yang's interest grew as he listened. "Let's put aside the question of promotion for now. That's still far away. Just tell me about the initial pros and cons of getting the Celestial Luck Banner, as well as the direction of application!"
The little fatty pondered for a while again. After deliberating over his words, he said, "The overall situation seems to be settled after obtaining the Celestial Luck Banner, but there are still many loose ends to deal with. It's not something that can be done once and for all. Take the county magistrate as an example. When you become the county magistrate, you undoubtedly hold the power of life and death within a certain range. However, it will take a certain period of time to truly follow the orders of your superiors and follow the orders of your subordinates. This is because the people under your rule are still the same people, bearing the mark of the original county magistrate in their bones. In other words, even if you snatch the Celestial Luck Banner, the force recognized by Heaven will still be the original school and not you, the actual owner of the Celestial Luck Banner. "
"Therefore, what you have to do at this time is to be recognized by Heaven."
Yun Yang frowned. "That's exactly what I'm asking. How do I get recognized?"
"The process of getting recognized begins when you successfully snatch the Celestial Luck Banner. After a buffer period after you successfully snatch the banner, the highest authority in your territory will send a person in charge of the territory to carry the Golden Radiance Celestial Luck Banner to be assessed. The content of the assessment is to accept the battle test of three Celestial Luck Banners of the same level. Only if you can withstand it will the Golden Radiance Celestial Luck Banner erase the original name on the banner you own and change it to the name of your sect. Only then will the Celestial Luck Banner truly become the sect's, and it will continue until the sect is promoted again or defeated! "
Little Fatty was indeed knowledgeable, recounting these secrets as if he was very familiar with them.
Yun Yang caught one of the questions keenly. "Accepting the battle test of three Celestial Luck Banners of the same level in succession … There must be something else going on. I think there must be a difference in ranking among the same level. If there is, if the three schools that are ranked higher are sent to attack, won't it be a futile effort?"
Little Fatty stared at Yun Yang for a while in surprise and awe. This boss had not even established his sect yet, but he had already thought of such a far-reaching problem.
"Of course it won't be too extreme. Although there are rankings within the sects, there are only nine in total. If you defeat the sect ranked ninth, then only the sixth, seventh, and eighth sects can come and attack you. There is also a further assessment standard: the strongest sect in the assessment can only send half of its strength to fight you. The second strongest sect can send seventy percent of its strength. Even the weakest sect can only send ninety percent of its strength to attack you."
"The comprehensive assessment after capturing the banner is the same. If you capture the sixth Celestial Luck Banner, then the third, fourth, and fourth place will be assessed. All the combat power participating in the battle isn't assigned by the sect, but the Golden Palace's special envoy using the Golden Radiance Celestial Luck Banner to select the sect's combatants. This ensures absolute fairness, and there's rarely any favoritism or fraud. "
Yun Yang grinned. "This may not be accurate. What if the challenger defeats any of the top three sects? Where would you find three assessment sects? "
Little Fatty choked, grumbling inwardly, 'You're so careless.'
"If the lower-class sects aren't qualified for the assessment, there's still the middle-class sects. However, the possibility of this is very small, and it's only passed down in regulations and legends. At least, I've never heard of it … "
Yun Yang asked, "Are casualties allowed in such an assessment?"
"No. Martial artists strive for victory by raising their hands and not giving in, showing no mercy on the spot. The difference of a single move can turn the tide of the battle.
However, in the vast majority of approved battles, there would be no casualties. This is because those who die in this battle will come back to life under the Golden Radiance Banner. "
Yun Yang's jaw almost dropped. "There's such a thing? Resurrection of the dead? Isn't this a joke?"
"Do you think that the Golden Radiance Celestial Luck Banner's power is only limited to increasing one's cultivation base? Its power is far beyond our imagination … Of course, even if one can be resurrected, it doesn't mean that there won't be any enmity. Many enmities arise from this. After all, after dying once, it's inevitable that one will hold a grudge against the one who killed him … "
Little Fatty chuckled coldly.
"Competition has never been forbidden between sects, much less killing in vengeance." Qian Duoduo said, "All the sects that have obtained the Celestial Luck Banner dare not relax for even a moment in their self-cultivation. They have to guard against the attacks of those red-eyed rogue sects and prepare for the annual ranking competition. "
"Many of the sects that rank outside the top three are constantly changing."
"After all, there are as many sects without Celestial Luck Banners as there is an ocean. While there is a gap between rogue cultivators and the disciples of sects that have lower class Celestial Luck Banners, it's not impossible to catch up … Therefore, everyone works hard in their cultivation, no one dares to be careless."
As if he had guessed Yun Yang's thoughts, Little Fatty said, "Those who die in the ranking competition won't be resurrected. The Golden Radiance Banner won't pay attention to other battles that don't involve the Celestial Luck Banner."
"Uh." Yun Yang coughed and asked, "If the lower class sect succeeds in the challenge, for example, if the top sect in the lower nine classes were to be promoted to a middle-class sect, then the lower nine classes would be reduced to eight. What would happen if there's an empty spot?"
"I've never heard of such a thing before. Although there should be such an example before, there's no specific news about it, so no one knows the inside story. The only thing that's certain is that the new replacement, no matter how it's done, is definitely related to the battle. "
Yun Yang had only listened briefly but he immediately understood the danger involved.
There were only nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine Celestial Luck Banners in the entire Bound of Universe!
As for the upper four classes — gold, silver, purple, and green — rogue cultivator sects did not even dare to hope for them. Those sects could probably crush them to death just by plucking a strand of hair from their hands.
Therefore, while there were nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine Celestial Luck Banners in name, only the lowest class ones were in circulation.
As for those so-called low-ranked sects, the top three, and even the top six, they were all untouchable by the Loose Cultivators. At most, they could only compete for the last three sects. In other words, only the ninth sect had the highest chance of competing for it!
One spot!
On the other hand, how many rogue cultivator sects were there in the world that did not have a Celestial Luck Banner?
More precisely, how many such sects were there under the jurisdiction of a palace? Fatty seemed to have mentioned just now that there were at least twenty to thirty thousand of them!
Yet, there was only one ninth place!
Such a ratio was even more exaggerated and tragic than an army crossing a single-plank bridge!
Moreover, even if it was the last ninth-ranked sect, how could they not cultivate with all their might, knowing that they were in an awkward position? After all, they still had the help of the Celestial Luck Banner. After all, their cultivation speed was six times faster than rogue cultivators. How could they be pulled down so easily?
Even an idiot would know that it was not easy!
The so-called chance of promotion was still slim; the probability was less than one in ten thousand!
