When Chen Zong arrived at the Main Tower and entered the pavilion, he picked up a Main Tower Chronicle and started reading. While he was reading, he was also circulating the Single Heart Sutra. He was comprehending the Great Dao, sword arts, absolute arts, and so on. Multitasking was killing many birds with one stone.
The Chronicle of the Headquarters recorded some matters related to the Headquarters, so that people who came from the branch could have a more direct understanding of the Headquarters.
At the beginning of the chronicle of the headquarters, it was naturally about the rise and history of the Trade Wind Sect, as well as their great achievements. After that, it recorded the cultivation resources in the headquarters and so on.
For example, the Enlightenment Pagoda.
For example, the Divine Martial Jade Wall.
For example, the Heavenly Pillar.
All in all, after Chen Zong finished reading the Chronicle of the Headquarters, he found that the cultivation resources in the Headquarters were very abundant. Some of them were similar to the Nine Heavens Imperial Court. For example, the Realm of Refinement was similar to the Enlightenment Pagoda in the Headquarters of the Trade Wind Gang. However, there was no doubt that the Enlightenment Pagoda in the Headquarters of the Trade Wind Gang was more effective than the Realm of Refinement in the Nine Heavens Imperial Court.
However, it was not so easy to obtain these cultivation resources.
In the Headquarters of the Trade Wind Gang, there was a list of the Third Realm called the Cool Breeze List.
Only those who were listed on the Cool Breeze List were qualified to obtain these cultivation resources directly. Moreover, the higher the ranking, the more resources they would receive.
This resulted in one thing: the strong became stronger, and the weak became weaker.
The weak became weaker, but it did not mean that they were weak. They were still improving, but their improvement speed was much slower than those of the strong.
If the difference between the two was originally ten, then with the difference in resources, the cultivation speed of the strong would be even more astonishing. On the other hand, because of the lack of resources, the cultivation speed of the weak would be slower. This ten difference would expand to twenty, thirty, or even a hundred.
There were only ten places on the Cool Breeze List, and it had always been like this.
Although the Cool Breeze List could not be compared to the Divine General List, it was still a benchmark that belonged to the Trade Wind Gang's Headquarters.
Every expert who was listed on the Cool Breeze List was listed on the Divine General List, and their rankings were not low. At least, Chen Zong's 8,000 place was not qualified to be listed on the Cool Breeze List.
Other than being listed on the Cool Breeze List and being able to obtain these resources directly, there were other ways.
Chen Zong put down the Chronicle of the General Building and started to think.
Not long after, someone came to visit. It was the Han Sect.
"Brother Chen, a straightforward person does not resort to insinuations." As soon as the Han Sect arrived, they did not beat around the bush. Instead, they went straight to the point and stated their purpose. "For generations, when the prodigies of our branch came to the main building, they would be suppressed and ostracized by the prodigies of the main building."
Chen Zong listened to Han Men quietly.
"Only when the four branches join forces can we resist the attack of the geniuses from the main branch. Otherwise, we won't be able to get many resources, and our improvement will be slow," the Han Gate said solemnly.
He was different from Chen Zong. Chen Zong had come from the Nine Heavens Imperial Court, and had only joined the Trade Wind Sect halfway through his journey. He was a member of the Trade Wind Sect at the very beginning, but Han Men had been a member of the Trade Wind Sect at the very beginning. His understanding of the Trade Wind Sect was not something that Chen Zong could compare with.
Moreover, since he was going to study in the main building, he would naturally do all kinds of research in advance.
All along, when the prodigies of the branch came to the main building, they would be attacked and suppressed by the prodigies of the main building. Their purpose was naturally to snatch cultivation resources.
Of course, the prodigies of the branch buildings would not be willing to be suppressed, and all kinds of conflicts would inevitably occur.
The best way to resist the attack and suppression of the prodigies of the main building was for the prodigies of the four branches to join forces. This was the result of many experiences.
At the beginning, the prodigies of the branch buildings did not join forces because they believed that they were more talented than the others. As a result, they were unable to resist the attack of the prodigies of the main building.
When the prodigies of the branch buildings came to their senses, they immediately joined forces. However, because they were from different branches, only the branch buildings joined forces. Although they became stronger, they were still defeated by the prodigies of the main building one by one, and their resources were plundered.
After learning from this painful experience, the strongest prodigies of the four first-grade branch buildings met. After a discussion, they finally decided that the four first-grade branch buildings would truly join forces and form an alliance to resist the attack of the main building's prodigies.
At this point, they barely managed to gain a firm foothold and could confront the main building. They could then seize a portion of the cultivation resources, so that they would not end up empty-handed every time.
Even so, they were always at a disadvantage in the confrontation with the main building. However, they had no choice but to do so.
This time, as the strongest prodigy of the four first-grade branch buildings, Han Men took up the responsibility. After meeting with the strongest prodigies of the other three branches, they came to an agreement to find other prodigies to join the alliance.
This alliance was called the Four Extremes Alliance, which represented the alliance of the four first-grade branch buildings.
The purpose of Han Men's visit was naturally to invite Chen Zong to join the Four Extremes Alliance. After all, Chen Zong was an expert ranked eight thousandth on the Divine Generals List. His swordsmanship was extraordinary, and his strength was extraordinary. If he joined the Four Extremes Alliance, he would definitely be a great general.
Chen Zong pondered for a moment, then nodded and accepted Han Men's invitation to join the Four Extremes Alliance.
"Great." Han Men was overjoyed. "With you joining us, the Four Extremes Alliance will become even stronger."
Currently, the top ten spots on the Cool Breeze List were all occupied by the prodigies of the main building. Of course, the Four Extremes Alliance's next move was to obtain a spot on the Cool Breeze List.
Han Men was ranked six thousandth on the Divine Generals List, and his strength was not weak. In the Four Extremes Alliance, Han Men was not the strongest, but the second strongest. The strongest was Luo Shu, who was ranked five thousand and eight hundred on the Divine Generals List.
As for the top ten prodigies of the main building on the Cool Breeze List, Han Men and the others had inquired about them. The last few prodigies were not ranked very high on the Divine Generals List. At least, they were not as high as Han Men and Luo Shu.
In other words, regardless of whether it was Han Men or Luo Shu, they were all qualified to be listed on the Cool Breeze List.
However, as long as they were listed on the Cool Breeze List, they would be able to obtain cultivation resources directly.
After joining the Four Extremes Alliance, Chen Zong did not need to do anything for the time being. All he needed to do was to cultivate diligently.
As for Han Men and Luo Shu, they directly challenged the tenth and ninth ranked prodigies on the Cool Breeze List.
Chen Zong and the others also went to watch the two battles. After a fierce battle, as expected, no matter if it was the Han Sect or Luo Shu, both of them defeated their opponents and successfully replaced their opponents on the Cool Breeze Rankings.
"As expected, my strength is still not enough." Chen Zong could not help but think to himself.
Although he could enter the top eight thousand if he challenged the Divine Generals List now, he definitely would not be able to enter the top seven thousand, let alone the Cool Breeze List.
Therefore, Chen Zong was not in a hurry to challenge the other prodigies. Instead, he cultivated diligently and tried his best to improve himself.
Chen Zong was very clear about his strengths and weaknesses.
His weakness was his innate physique, which could not be compared with that of the Origin Clan. However, there was nothing he could do about it. After all, he was a human, not a member of the Origin Clan.
His strengths were naturally his comprehension and the Heart Sutra.
Therefore, he had to make full use of them and combine them with the Heart Sutra with his superb comprehension. He had to work hard to understand swordsmanship, Great Way, and Unique Skills to improve their profundity and power, and then enhance his own strength.
The number of experts on the Divine Generals List in the headquarters was naturally not comparable to that in the branch buildings. According to Chen Zong, there were more than thirty experts on the Divine Generals List, which was almost as many as the prodigies on the Divine Generals List in the four branch buildings.
Among them, two of the most powerful experts had already reached the Divine Strength Realm and were ranked in the top three thousand on the Divine Generals List. It was hard to imagine how powerful they were. However, they were not listed on the Cool Breeze List because they had reached the Divine Strength Realm.
However, Chen Zong was very curious about the strength of the experts who had reached the Divine Strength Realm.
It was a pity that he could not see them fight. Otherwise, he would be able to have a good look at them.
As for the cultivation resources, such as the Enlightenment Pagoda and the Divine Martial Jade Annulus, Chen Zong was very curious about them. However, it was a pity that he was not qualified to enter them.
As for how to enter them, he would have to go through the arrangements of the Trade Wind Tower and then compete for them.
As time went by, Chen Zong also went to find Wen Shi to exchange swordsmanship with him. In other words, he gave Wen Shi pointers on swordsmanship cultivation. This was a deal with Wen Shi's elder, and the reward was a Great Way Sword Technique, the True Dipper Swordsmanship.
Now, Chen Zong had further improved the True Dipper Swordsmanship and reached the same level as the other three Great Way Sword Techniques.
However, the four Great Swordsmanship seemed to have reached a bottleneck at this level. If he wanted to improve further, it would be extremely difficult. At least for now, Chen Zong was unable to break through to a higher level.
There was no end to swordsmanship, but relatively speaking, there was also a limit.
There was no end to swordsmanship, which meant that it could be improved and strengthened continuously. There was a limit to swordsmanship, which was due to one's comprehension and cultivation. Once one reached a bottleneck, it would be difficult to break through and stop.
Whether there was a limit or not depended on one's cultivation.
However, even if it was difficult to break through in a short period of time, Chen Zong would not give up on cultivating and comprehending. Only by constantly comprehending and cultivating would he be able to accumulate and eventually break through the bottleneck and become stronger.
For example, the World Sword Technique. Chen Zong had improved the World Sword Technique to a higher level. The power of each stroke was at the level of a top Rank Six Ao Wu.
If he broke through, he would be a Rank Seven Ao Wu.
A Rank Six Ao Wu was a middle-level Ao Wu, while a Rank Seven Ao Wu was a high-level Ao Wu.
Time flew. In the blink of an eye, a month had passed. The first confrontation between the geniuses of the branch and the Head Tower was about to begin.
This time, they would compete for the opportunity to cultivate the cultivation resources such as the Enlightenment Pagoda and the Divine Martial Jade Wall.
Chen Zong's eyes lit up. Both the Enlightenment Pagoda and the Divine Martial Jade Wall were what Chen Zong wanted. Now, the opportunity had come.
The members of the Four Extremes Alliance were gathered for the first time.
More than 30 experts on the Divine Generals List and more than 40 top experts of the Divine Generals Realm gathered together. Each of them exuded an astonishing aura.
