Cheng Yu stood on the stage and looked at everyone present. Those who were able to stand here today were definitely outstanding people.
In the plaza outside of these people, there was a sea of people surrounding them.
Other than the 10,000 people who were invited by the Cheng Family, there were also some disciples from the lower sects.
Some of them were defeated by the participating disciples, and some of them were not strong enough. Although these disciples were unable to participate in the competition, they were also the potential disciples that the sect master had placed their hopes on. Perhaps in the future, they would become the mainstay of the sect. Bringing them to watch such a competition might be more beneficial to their cultivation.
As for the remaining people, they were all disciples of the Cheng Family.
Compared to the participating Cheng Family disciples, there were only 20 people from each peak. The entire Cheng Family only had 720 people. Compared to the number of Cheng Family disciples, this was too few.
Therefore, the number of people watching the competition was far more than the participants. This kind of scene made all the participants excited and nervous.
Not to mention those who were participating in such a large scale competition for the first time, even those who had participated in it before were excited as if it was their first time participating in the competition.
Participants, first of all, I would like to congratulate you for being able to stand out from the outstanding disciples of your respective sects. At the same time, it also proved that you are even more outstanding.
I am also very happy to be able to see your arrival in the Cheng Family. It has been a long time since I participated in your competition. Therefore, this year, I have prepared a much more generous reward for everyone than any previous competition.
Not only that, as long as you are able to obtain excellent results in the competition, even your sect will receive very generous rewards because of your excellence.
Therefore, I hope that you will perform well in this competition and strive to obtain great rewards for yourself and your sect.
Now, I announce that the second round of the competition will begin. Please head to your respective peaks to participate in the next round of the competition! Cheng Yu made a simple mobilization announcement to everyone.
This year, he had prepared such a generous reward. If he did not stimulate them, how would he be able to see the more outstanding performance of these disciples?
Furthermore, he was also thinking of whether he could find the descendant of the Holy City among these people.
In his opinion, even if the descendant of the Holy City had not awakened, he would definitely be outstanding.
Take Bai Zhengqi for example. Although he had never known that Bai Zhengqi had the bloodline of the Holy City, he was still much more outstanding than the others.
Cheng Yu pondered for a long time. It was impossible for all the lower sect disciples to come to the Cheng Family to cultivate the Three Dan God Fantasy Art.
Moreover, if he really did that, these lower sects would definitely be suspicious of his actions and intentions. They might even be filled with suspicion.
Of course, if everyone were to cultivate it, it would be especially easy to expose the Three Dan God Fantasy Art. This was definitely something he could not allow.
Although only a few outstanding disciples were chosen to impart the cultivation technique, there was still a possibility that it would be leaked. However, it was still safer than everyone cultivating.
Now, he had already informed all the Sect Masters of the lower sects that they no longer needed to send disciples to the Cheng Family every year.
However, he did not cancel the selection of outstanding disciples from the Grand Competition. Therefore, in this year's Grand Competition, he would still select some outstanding disciples from the lower sects to enter the Cheng family.
However, compared to the past, they would be stricter in their selection of disciples.
A lot of people didn't know how the Cheng Family selected the lower sect disciples. In fact, it was very simple. They were more interested in the performance of the person in the competition.
Therefore, compared to the final ranking, they didn't really care much.
After all, the Cheng Family's Grand Competition had combined two large realms into one group. This was definitely very unfair to the disciples who were a large realm lower.
If it was only about winning and losing, then the disciples who were a large realm higher would obviously have a great advantage.
In contrast, their chances of winning would also be higher.
The simplest example was the Golden Core and Nascent Soul groups. It was normal for a late stage Nascent Soul cultivator to obtain first place in the group.
However, if a middle stage Nascent Soul or below disciple obtained first place, it was obvious that the strength of such a disciple would be more outstanding.
Especially if an early stage Nascent Soul or even Golden Core cultivator obtained first place. This was even more proof of how outstanding such a disciple was.
After all, Golden Core cultivators were at an absolute disadvantage in front of Nascent Soul cultivators. Under such circumstances, Golden Core cultivators not only needed to have super high strength beyond ordinary Golden Core cultivators, but they also needed to have the ability to control and deal with various situations in the battle.
In such a comparison, the lower the realm of the person who obtained first place, the higher the value of this first place.
Although this may not mean that the strength of a late stage Nascent Soul cultivator was not good, but if he lost to a person with a lower realm than him, no matter how high his strength was, he would not be regarded as an outstanding figure, let alone a genius.
However, this was just a metaphor. The Cheng Family did not just choose the first disciple.
It was just that they valued the performance of this disciple in the Grand Competition. Therefore, the ranking of the disciple was not so important.
If a Golden Core disciple could defeat a Nascent Soul disciple, even if he lost in the end and did not get a good result, the Cheng Family would value him more.
At least compared to other disciples who defeated a lower realm with a higher realm, and ranked in the top, he would have a greater chance of being selected by the Cheng Family.
Therefore, the requirements of the Cheng Family's disciple selection were actually that simple.
It was just that this requirement seemed simple, but in fact, it was very complicated. After all, any battle could have a variety of situations, and it was difficult to generalize.
This person did not just need to be able to fight above his realm to be selected.
Only after the performance of many battles, and after considering all the factors, would the Cheng Family make the final decision.
Regarding the requirements of the Cheng Family, even if the participating disciples understood, it was still difficult to fulfill.
After all, there were millions of cultivators in the world, but there were not many who could truly meet the requirements of the Cheng Family.
Therefore, in reality, there were not many disciples selected by the Cheng Family through the Grand Competition.
Another very important reason was that the Cheng Family naturally had to consider the feelings of the lower sects.
If they snatched away these disciples who performed well, then what future would the lower sects have to speak of?
Due to the strength and status of their sects, as well as the resources they possessed, and the fact that they were not as famous as the Cheng Family.
Therefore, if they wanted to find a true genius disciple, they could only choose and groom them from when they were still children.
Not all children could tell at a glance whether they were geniuses or not. In fact, most of them would only slowly display their talents after going through cultivation. Only then would they be seen by everyone.
Moreover, geniuses also needed to be nurtured properly. For a sect like the Cheng Family to nurture a rare genius, it was extremely difficult.
But the Cheng Family was different. Right now, the reputation of the Cheng Family was like the sun in the sky. Those geniuses who already had a little bit of fame would even take the initiative to look for them.
For example, the Cheng Family was still recruiting disciples from the outside, but the requirements for these disciples were very high.
Even if they were not rare geniuses, their strength and talent would definitely be very good.
Although the Cheng Family would attract many ordinary people every time they recruited disciples, there was no lack of true geniuses. After all, in any world, ordinary people outnumbered geniuses.
Therefore, the Cheng Family did not even need to be like the other sects to search for geniuses from a young age.
However, to ensure that the sect could flourish, the Cheng Family did not give up on finding outstanding children to enter the sect to cultivate.
After all, the new disciples were the future. If a sect did not have their own disciples, then it would be hard to guarantee the loyalty of the disciples to the Cheng Family.
Therefore, the Cheng Family took care of both, naturally they were filled with talents, strong strength, and prosperous.
If the Cheng Family was still not satisfied and wanted to snatch away all the outstanding disciples from the lower sects, even the genius disciples, then it would definitely cause all the lower sects to be very dissatisfied.
A just cause enjoys abundant support, an unjust cause finds little support.
If the Cheng Family were to oppress the lower sects because of their own strength, there would be a day when the Cheng Family would also be destroyed by their own greed.
This was also the reason why the Cheng Family no longer needed the lower sects to send talents over.
If these lower sects wanted to destroy you in the dark, then no matter how strong the Cheng Family was, there would be a day when it would be destroyed.
Therefore, the Cheng Family still had to take care of the emotions of these lower sects. They could not possibly completely block the path of development of others just for their own development.
Just like the current dynasty, they had so many outer dynasties that were spread all over the world. This kind of influence was extremely strong.
In the eyes of outsiders, this kind of dynasty was basically impossible to be destroyed.
However, after so many years of understanding of the dynasty, Cheng Yu had already discovered that there were a lot of outer dynasties that were already very dissatisfied with the inner dynasties.
This was the crack.
With this kind of crack, there would be a chance for others to take advantage of it.
Therefore, when he went to annex these outer dynasties, not many of these outer dynasties were willing to be loyal to the inner dynasty.
And now, these lower sects of the Cheng Family were like those outer dynasties. If they were too harsh on them, perhaps one day they would join someone else's side.
Even when you needed help, not only would you not be able to get their help, but they would also give you a blow to the head and become the direct cause of your destruction.
Therefore, not only did Cheng Yu have to think of a way to select people who might be the descendants of the Holy City, he also had to take care of the emotions of these lower sects and even bribe them.
This was also why Cheng Yu did not mention that these people might be chosen by the Cheng Family in the conversation just now.
At the very least, many of the lower sects of the Cheng Family did not like to hear these words.
Because none of the lower sects wanted their genius disciples to be snatched away by the Cheng Family
He knew that these lower sects were not even willing to take out their most outstanding disciples to participate in the Grand Competition because they were afraid that the Cheng Family would snatch them away.
This was also why Cheng Yu informed these lower sects before the Grand Competition. Not only did the Cheng Family not need them to send talents every year, but there were also rare resources that even the sect leaders wanted to obtain in this Grand Competition.
