Everyone here was a rogue cultivator and they all had a deep understanding of the hardships of a rogue cultivator.
As the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison.
In the past, as rogue cultivators, even though it was tough, they didn't think that it was bad.
But now that they came to the Cheng Clan to watch the competition, they finally saw what kind of treatment the disciples of big sects enjoyed and what kind of life they led as rogue cultivators without any support.
With such a comparison, they really felt that their lives were too miserable.
So they finally had the idea of changing their current situation.
If they could find a sect that they could rely on, especially if they could enter the Cheng Clan, then their lives would definitely be several times better than they were now.
Therefore, the more exciting the battles they saw during the Cheng Clan's competition, the more intense the desire in their hearts was.
Many of them even started to think of ways to enter the Cheng Clan after the Cheng Clan's competition ended.
Now that they were a rogue cultivator, they really couldn't do it.
In the past, without the Cheng Clan, there wouldn't be any cultivators in the world who could cultivate so quickly. Moreover, the Cheng Clan's resources were simply unimaginable. With the Cheng Clan's strong support, the cultivation speed of the Cheng Clan's disciples was simply outrageous.
Those Cheng Clan disciples who were originally inferior to them, after years of hard work, had all surpassed them.
Cultivation was like a boat, if you didn't advance, you would fall behind.
If they couldn't improve their cultivation as quickly as the Cheng Clan disciples, then they would eventually be surpassed by all the other Cheng Clan disciples. That was absolutely unacceptable.
Therefore, if they wanted to change everything, they had to enter the Cheng Clan.
Even if they really couldn't enter the Cheng Clan, they had to at least enter the Cheng Clan's lower sects.
Even though the lower sects were not as strong as the Cheng Clan, it was still much better than being a rogue cultivator.
At the very least, the Cheng Clan and the Cheng Clan's lower sects had a huge difference in contribution points when compared to outsiders like them.
The Cheng Clan and the lower sects seemed to have priority in choosing the best missions, and even if it was the same mission, the Cheng Clan's contribution points were much higher than theirs.
In addition, the Cheng Clan's contribution points were exchanged for resources at a much lower price.
In comparison, the Cheng Clan disciples had a much easier time obtaining 1 million contribution points, and it was also much more durable than theirs.
So when they thought about it this way, they suddenly felt that a lot of their efforts over the years had been in vain.
They put in more effort than the disciples of the Cheng Family, but their rewards were much less than the disciples of the Cheng Family.
Of course, they didn't blame the Cheng Clan for treating them differently.
After all, the Cheng Family was the Cheng Family's Cheng Family, so it was normal for them to treat the outside world differently.
If one were to say that the Cheng family treated everyone equally and treated outsiders as well as their own people, then it would obviously be unfair to their own people.
After all, he was the pillar of the Cheng Family. If the Cheng Family didn't have these people, then the Cheng Family wouldn't even exist.
When the Cheng Family was in danger, no one would come to protect them.
Moreover, all forces were like this. They all treated their own people well.
Not only did the Cheng Family treat their own people well, but they also took care of outsiders. In this world, the Cheng Family seemed to be the only one.
Therefore, although there were differences between the two, they were still very grateful to the Cheng family.
If it weren't for the Cheng Family, it wouldn't have been so easy for them to get what they had now.
However, in the past, they didn't think that there was anything wrong with this. They even thought that it didn't matter if the contribution was less or the exchange price was higher. As long as they could exchange for what they needed, it didn't matter.
But now, looking at the disciples of the Cheng Family who were so fierce and strong, it really made them feel envious.
They also saw the gap between them. These small differences expanded year by year, and finally, the gap between them became what it was now.
Those who were originally stronger than them, they couldn't catch up at all. As for those who were originally on par with them, they had now become much stronger than them.
Even those who were originally inferior to them were now catching up to them, and even looking at them.
Therefore, if they were satisfied with the status quo, it was estimated that they would really fall behind.
Now that the Cheng Family's grand competition had reached this step, everyone was also looking forward to the later matches of the grand competition.
Especially after the young disciples of the Great Ascension Stage, it would undoubtedly be more exciting.
After all, reaching the Great Ascension Stage at such a young age wasn't something that ordinary people could achieve.
Moreover, for the lower sects to compete at that level, there were very few advantages to speak of.
This was because compared to the main sect of the Cheng Family, the lower sects had fewer disciples and fewer disciples with great potential.
Therefore, from this point of view, the lower sects could not compare to the Cheng Family.
Moreover, no one knew that the Cheng Family had such a magical place as the Yunfeng Pagoda.
Although there were conditions to enter the Yunfeng Pagoda, as long as one could enter, everyone's cultivation level would increase by leaps and bounds.
Think about it, some people who were about to break through would go there to cultivate and easily break through to a new stage.
As long as they used their contribution points to exchange for a large amount of high-quality resources from the Cheng Family and cultivated diligently for a few years, they would basically be on the verge of breaking through again.
The most difficult part of a complete stage was to break through to the next stage.
Therefore, if one only relied on one's own ability to reach the edge of a new stage, it would be far easier to reach the next stage from the bottleneck.
The existence of the Yunfeng Pagoda was equivalent to dividing a complete stage into two parts. One only needed to cultivate the first 70% and the other 30% was left to the Yunfeng Pagoda.
However, the latter 30% was far more difficult than the first 70%. Therefore, the existence of the Yunfeng Pagoda was clearly a cultivation cheat.
Because of this, the disciples of the Cheng Family would change every year. In a few years, they might have broken through a few stages, which was simply unimaginable to outsiders.
Those who didn't know better would think that the Cheng Family was full of geniuses.
In reality, they didn't know that more than 70% of the credit went to the Yunfeng Pagoda.
Therefore, for the disciples of the Cheng Family, the biggest reward was to enter the Yunfeng Pagoda to cultivate.
However, the Cheng Family would not treat the magical Yunfeng Pagoda as the most ordinary disciple treatment.
If everyone could enter the Yunfeng Pagoda to cultivate without any requirements when they reached a bottleneck, it would allow the disciples of the Cheng Family to improve their abilities in the shortest time possible. However, it would not be in line with the development of a force.
Because it was too easy to obtain, they would not treasure it.
No one would put in so much effort to cultivate. After all, when their cultivation reached the best period to enter the Yunfeng Pagoda, they could just enter it directly. They would enjoy this kind of reaping without putting in any effort. This was definitely not what Cheng Yu wanted to see.
Even if such a person's cultivation increased, in reality, it was just for show. He was a piece of trash. Other than his cultivation, he had nothing else.
If they were to really encounter an enemy, they would probably be able to kill them easily. So what if their cultivation was high?
Therefore, Cheng Yu set a threshold for entering the Yunfeng Pagoda and set out some conditions.
The first was the nature of the reward. If the disciples performed well in various activities or missions, as well as made a certain contribution to the Cheng Family, they would be rewarded with a chance to enter the Yunfeng Pagoda to cultivate.
For example, if they achieved outstanding results in the annual evaluation, or achieved good results in the big and small competitions, or defended the Cheng Family against enemies, etc., there were all opportunities.
The second condition was to use their contribution to exchange for the chance to enter the Yunfeng Pagoda. However, to exchange for such an opportunity, it was not something that could be achieved with just a little bit of contribution.
Therefore, they were forced to work hard to complete the family's missions.
As long as they worked hard to complete the missions, even if they did not enter the Yunfeng Pagoda, their strength would still increase by leaps and bounds.
If they were to exchange their contribution for a chance to enter the Yunfeng Pagoda, their strength would naturally increase by leaps and bounds.
Cheng Yu believed that only with such a virtuous cycle, the Cheng Family would be able to develop even better. Only then would the Cheng Family disciples become even stronger and not be left with an empty shell.
From the current situation of the competition, Cheng Yu was very satisfied with the overall strength of the Cheng Family disciples.
Although not all the disciples were able to suppress the lower sect disciples, at least he saw the huge improvement of the Cheng Family disciples. This was something that the lower sect disciples could not compare to.
Furthermore, although the Cheng Family was very strong now, it was still a very young power.
In just a few years, they were able to have such a huge improvement. This was already very amazing.
He believed that as long as the Cheng Family had enough time to develop, the Cheng Family's strength in the future would definitely be unimaginable.
The duels during the day had made all the spectators feel very excited. When the competition ended at night, it was time for everyone to enjoy the delicacies again.
There were so many people participating in the competition. Just the food that the Cheng Family prepared for so many people was a huge expense.
On the first day, as the host, the Cheng Family was very generous. They prepared delicacies every day to show their sincerity.
However, the Cheng Family was not here to do charity. It was impossible for them to prepare so many delicacies for so many people every day.
Not to mention, just the fine wine that they brewed was not something that could be bought outside. How could the Cheng Family provide for everyone every day?
Furthermore, they did not have so much stock for everyone to consume.
Therefore, from the second day onwards, the Cheng Family's meals returned to normal. These meals were naturally free of charge.
However, if they wanted to eat the delicacies on the first day, they would have to spend money.
Some people knew that the Cheng Family had such good food and wine. How could they possibly eat such ordinary free meals? Naturally, they would have to spend money.
However, even so, the amount of money spent was limited because the stock was limited.
Therefore, the price of the delicacies and wine was extremely high. Not everyone was willing to spend money.
