For missions like representing a domain, the experienced would usually be chosen. Firstly, they were experienced and secondly, they were mature and prudent. This was a normal situation!
However, the current situation of the universe was not normal. A storm was brewing during a war, so they should not be mature. They had to forge ahead!
Moreover, to be honest, they were all elite Primordial Soul cultivators of large sects and forces. They were all one to two thousand years old. What did they not know? Being mature and experienced was just a saying in the mortal world. Once a cultivator became a True Monarch, they were all sly and cunning. You could not find anyone who was childish!
Many of these people were from the same generation as Lou Xiaoyi when he stabbed the sword in the Fish Leap Mountain. They had all grown up now.
For example, Guang Yao had already advanced to Jin Dan when he stabbed the sword in the Fish Leap Mountain. Shou Ru was his opponent at the Fish Leap Mountain. He had also met Ran Xin once. Li Shang had even colluded with him before … These people had all grown up after thousands of years of training. They gradually became the pillars of their respective sects and forces!
During this period of great change in the universe, it was time for these people to show their faces and integrate into the changes of the universe. If anything happened, they would naturally be the ones to take the lead. What was the purpose of nurturing disciples? It was for this moment. The stage was already set. They were all the main characters. Whether they acted well or badly, it was their role. They were not those three to four thousand years old old men!
The older generation was destined to have no fate with the changes of the era. They were also destined to fade away from the stage! In fact, this was not only the case for the Fifth Ring Realm. It was the same for every domain. The young True Monarchs who were sent out were all one to two thousand years old. This was so that everyone could stand on the stage and familiarize themselves with each other. If they were not enemies, there was also the possibility of becoming friends.
This was networking. This was the structure of the universe in the future. The large sects and forces all understood this. Therefore, the current Anchor Chain Realm was also a battle for the future of the young people!
Sending ambassadors to the Anchor Chain Realm was a trend. It was also something that all the large forces had to do. No matter how arrogant you were, if you did not come when others came and gave up a powerful realm in the end, you would be irresponsible to yourself!
Therefore, even though five-ring Soul Masters weren't very good at doing this kind of thing and didn't really care about groveling, they still had to do it. They couldn't be proud! But because they were the furthest out of all the envoys, they still had to wake up early in the morning and rush over late at night. They were almost the last to reach the anchor chain domain.
They had already been here for a hundred years, but they still had very little success. Even if they had the backing of the most enterprising realm in the universe, and even if everyone recognized that Five-Ring cultivators were among the best in terms of individual quality, it still couldn't help them obtain the support of more than half of the realms on the anchor chain!
Perhaps the other party already had a plan in mind, but was unwilling to reveal the cards so early!
The Ying Yuan Daoist Sect was one of the eight Anchor Chain Regions. Their region was located at the top of the Anchor Chain Regions. In fact, it was not because of their harvest from this trip. It was because of the historical and friendly relationship between the Ying Yuan Daoist Sect and the Oracle of Jia Lan of the Five Rings. From this, one could see the way Jia Lan handled matters. There were still many forces behind it that had not been revealed. This was also the characteristic of the sect.
The Oracle of Jia Lan was the most popular sect in the Five Rings. In this aspect, even the Three Pure Ones and the Supreme Ones could not compare. Of course, there was no need to mention the Sword Lunatic who made enemies everywhere.
With the support of the Ying Yuan Daoist Sect, they at least had a base camp. But in the following hundred years, these geniuses felt that it was very difficult. They ran into walls everywhere, and the experience of being softly rejected never stopped. This was not a place where one could get angry and spill blood on the spot. When these great sects and forces played Tai Chi, it was truly watertight. They were completely untainted by karma.
Making friends, getting in touch, drawing pictures, persuading with emotions, persuading with reason, they had used all the methods they could think of, but there was still no satisfactory result. When they first arrived at the anchor chain, there was the support of the Ying Yuan Daoist Sect. After a hundred years, only the Ying Yuan Daoist Sect was willing to truly express their support. This made everyone feel somewhat depressed.
Taoist Master Blue Jing saw that the atmosphere was rather gloomy, so he spoke up to console them. "The people of the Anchor Chain are like this. They appear to be more shrewd to the outside world. They have ideas in their hearts, but they won't say it out loud. I reckon that when the day comes for a showdown, the result won't be like the last time. It's a tie of three, with two people giving up …
There's also good news. Although we haven't made any progress, aren't our opponents still the same? Don't be fooled by the rumors outside, such as which domain has already fallen to which side. These are all deliberately spread by people with ulterior motives to gather momentum. The purpose is to make others lose their composure and become anxious. Then, they will make one move after another!
As long as we perform our best, there's nothing else to worry about. The diplomatic mission has a certain effect. It's indispensable, but it's not absolute. Under the general trend of the universe, no one is a fool. Everyone wants to see deeper, truer, and clearer. After all, there's only one chance to choose … "
Zi Wu of Qimen Dunjia smiled bitterly and said, "That's the truth. It's just that I feel a little uneasy. I've been running around for a hundred years, but I haven't made any achievements. I'm just going around in circles in the eyes of others …"
Guardian of Three Purities sighed. "When it comes to diplomatic missions, we're naturally at a disadvantage. The distance is too far, and we came late. Moreover, there's no way for us to improve our understanding of the sects here through networking activities.
We don't have the means to contact the cultivators below, and the higher-ups don't have the opportunity to do so. As a result, we can't rely on either side. Our progress is limited. "
The social gathering he was talking about was something that many other forces had been doing. For example, they would get a group of Nascent Soul cultivators to go on missions together, or get a group of True Immortals to go on an adventure together. In the process, they would show some small favors. Humans were emotional creatures. After interacting with each other for a long time, they would naturally come to understand each other. When considering which side to stand on, they would have a bias. It was a work that accumulated over time.
They couldn't do it because it would take at least three hundred years to fly here from the Fifth Ring. Even the older ones would die of old age.
It was easier said than done to pull a big help to the Fifth Ring! They were also people who had participated in the great battle of the Fifth Ring. The scene at that time was still vivid in their minds.
There was a Xuanyuan Swordsman who directly pulled people from Heaven's Choice and Zhou Xian back. Moreover, it was a large scale of more than two thousand people. At that time, they didn't feel anything. Now that it was their turn, they realized how difficult it was!
Swindling was also a skill. You had to be able to deceive people and suppress them. It wasn't easy.
But staying here was their mission. They couldn't give up just because it was difficult. The main problem now was how to find an entry point to make the Fifth Ring stand out from the crowd …
They knew a lot of friends. In fact, almost every person in the Anchor Chain was willing to make friends with the people of the Fifth Ring. Of course, the Anchor Chain was friends with everyone. From this point alone, it could be seen that the cultivators here were all cunning and deep!
