A Deal
When it came to supreme-level experts, the Nine Divine Mountains' academies had more than seventy percent of them. The other twenty-five percent belonged to their families. In the end, only five percent belonged to independent cultivators.
If the Upheaval Alliance wanted to grow, they couldn't do without supreme-level experts.
They didn't even need to think about their families' training. Most of them had a lofty sense of family honor and swore loyalty to their clans. As for the remaining five percent, they didn't even need to think about it. What right did he have to join a newly established faction like Ye Zichen's if he didn't join an academy and a family that had existed for many years?
The only way he could get Supreme level experts was to recruit them from these academies.
However, take the Northern Divine Mountain as an example.
More than seventy percent of the Northern Divine Mountain's Skyspan Academy's students were supreme-level experts. Most of them had ascended from the infinite realms. Since they didn't have any family backing, one reason for going to Skyspan Academy was to study was because they wanted to seek refuge in this unfamiliar environment.
However, they had to graduate sooner or later. Once they left Skyspan Academy, they had to think of a way out.
Joining societies was one way for them to find a new master.
Murong Xue, Pang Zheng, and Jiang Yong were direct descendants of their families. They came to Skyspan Academy to recruit new blood for their families while they were there. When the time came, their students would, barring any accidents, pledge loyalty to their families as well.
Ye Zichen didn't know much about the other academies, but given Skyspan Academy's scope, there shouldn't be too much of a difference.
This sort of behavior had gradually become a fixed pattern. This was why the God Realm was like a pool of stagnant water. Everything was set in stone. Large clans grew larger and larger, while small clans grew smaller and smaller. Some were even destroyed. They had no choice but to seek protection from a major faction or directly join it.
With this sort of fixed structure, it was difficult for new factions to take root and develop.
Ye Zichen, who had the Yao-Sealing Pagoda, was an exception. His early development was supported by the pagoda's yao servants. Furthermore, he had the Profound Pavilion and the Star Altar, as well as the Society of Saints. They were his most reliable backers and gimmicks. However, if he continued like this, he wouldn't be able to become a first-rate faction. In the future, he'd have to oppose the Lightning Emperor's Estate and Zhou Wu. His Upheaval Alliance had to grow, and it had to grow as fast as possible.
If Pang Zheng really did intend to send his Grizzly Bear Society graduates to the Upheaval Alliance, then he wouldn't be able to do so.
To be able to graduate from Skyspan Academy, regardless of their ultimate cultivation, they had at least received systematic training and education. This was exactly what Ye Zichen lacked. The Grizzly Bear Society had more than a million members. That meant they had a million supremes, perhaps even diviners. They were all siding with the Upheaval Alliance.
How could Ye Zichen not be moved?
He was anxious, indeed anxious. He was almost anxious to the point that he directly grabbed Pang Zheng's shoulder and asked in a particularly concerned tone.
"What you said just now is true, right?"
Ye Zichen's tone and the seriousness in his eyes stunned Pang Zheng.
The way he saw it, a family's true strength was still determined by its top-notch battle prowess. Most of the students who graduated from Skyspan Academy were earth supremes, with a few sky supremes and an extremely small number of celestials. Of these people, only the celestials could be of some use to the family. The rest were mostly just a drain on the family's resources.
He'd only said it in passing, but he hadn't expected Ye Zichen to care so much.
"Of course." Pang Zheng nodded, then continued, "But Brother Ye, don't think I'm being stingy. I can't hand over platoon leaders or experts who've graduated to seventh-stage sky supremes or higher. My family needs them too …. "
"Sure!" Ye Zichen nodded.
Ye Zichen knew full well that no matter how generous Pang Zheng was, there was no way he'd hand over true elites to Ye Zichen. Pang Zheng's goal here was to help his family find true elites. If he handed them all to Ye Zichen, how could his family develop?
But top-notch elites? Ye Zichen had no shortage of them.
The third floor of the Yao-Sealing Pagoda had tens of thousands of diviner-level yao servants, twenty rulers, and top-tier experts like Yang Jian, the Great Sage, and Pu Jingwan.
Ye Zichen lacked low-level elites!
To Pang Zheng and his family, these low-level elites were a burden, but to Ye Zichen, they were sweet nectar.
"You should be like Pang Zheng, right? Your family only needs top-notch battle prowess. In that case, how about sending the more ordinary ones over to the Upheaval Alliance as well? "Ye Zichen took advantage of the opportunity to circle around Jiang Yong and the others.
"Brother Ye, why do you need so many low-level elites? You should know this, right? If a faction really wants to stand firm in the God Realm, the true deciding factor is the higher-ups. "
As soon as Jiang Yong opened his mouth, he saw the yao servants of the Yao-Sealing Pagoda below, as well as the fearsome supervisors.
That's right!
Their family clans had been around for generations, and they'd long since had enough low-level elites. That's why they felt that having too many low-level elites was a burden. But Ye Zichen was different. His Upheaval Alliance had just been established, and what it lacked the most was manpower. Furthermore, there were dozens of terrifying auras below. Did he really lack top-notch experts?
When other factions were established, they lacked top-notch experts.
Ye Zichen was the complete opposite. He lacked low-level elites. The group of students in the club had followed them for a period of time, but there were very few who could actually graduate and enter their families. As for those who couldn't enter their families, they wanted to help, but they couldn't do anything about it.
Since Ye Zichen needed them, what reason did they have to refuse?
"No problem. The Aspirations Society can send you talented graduates, but you know, diviners …. Heh heh …." Jiang Yong grinned.
"So can the Navigators."
"So can the Proud Sky Society."
"Mm …." Murong Xue hesitated for a moment. "The Appearance Association is made up of girls. They …."
"I'll set up a women's department for them!" Ye Zichen thumped his chest.
"Then there's no problem."
All of Skyspan's major organizations agreed to help Ye Zichen with low-level elites. In total, they represented over forty percent of Skyspan's students. Ye Zichen saw a problem through them. In truth, most of Skyspan's student societies were formed to recruit elites for their families. Most of the ordinary students had to be abandoned.
Ye Zichen could negotiate with the other society heads and form a partnership.
Given his current status, the other society heads wouldn't go against his wishes. Then, if he did his best to educate the students, the Upheaval Alliance would definitely reach new heights in a short period of time.
Then, he could expand to the other Divine Mountains ….
He trusted that the other Divine Mountains were in similar circumstances. It would be great if he could get in touch with their academies.
However, he didn't know anyone from the other Divine Mountains.
Liu Jing!
Ye Zichen suddenly thought of her. She was from the Eastern Divine Mountain's Four Directions Academy. She might be able to help him. Coincidentally, they hadn't talked in a long time. He could use this opportunity to reconnect.
As he considered this, Ye Zichen used his divine sense to send a message through a jade slip.
After sending the message, Ye Zichen was in an incomparably good mood. He'd solved the Upheaval Alliance's manpower problem in such a short time. How could he not be delighted?
Ye Zichen's eyes lit up with delight, then he turned to Jiang Wei.
Ever since he'd arrived, his expression had been strange, and his brows were deeply furrowed.
