Chapter 253 For Your Own Good, Don't Be Ignorant Of Flattery

The Langxuan Heavenly Palace needs to change, and the most important change is the distribution pattern!

This is the consensus reached after Chu Shen and Wangchen discussed it.

The resources controlled by the Langxuan Heavenly Palace are abundant, and the hard work of the disciples has accumulated great wealth.

However, under the current distribution system, the group that contributes the most receives the least in return!

As grassroots disciples, it is extremely difficult for them to obtain additional resources besides the standard resources allocated by the sect. The reason is that disciples from prestigious families often occupy management positions and use various excuses and reasons to exploit the grassroots disciples.

Compared to the Great Tang Immortal Dynasty, this is like excessive taxation!

It should be noted that although the prestigious families have also contributed to the accumulation of wealth in the Heavenly Palace, they are by no means the creators of these accumulations. Instead, they have taken advantage of their early advantages and colluded with each other to seize many positions of power, and then exploit ordinary disciples like vampires.

No matter how much these prestigious family disciples emphasize the importance of their "leadership abilities," the fact is that as long as there is a basic organizational system, the Heavenly Palace would have lower operating costs and higher efficiency without them!

This is an objective fact that Chu Shen has proven in some reforms.

During this process, there will certainly continue to be similar problems of prestigious family disciples occupying positions of power, such as corruption, authoritarianism, and exploitation. However, dealing with them is much simpler compared to the deeply rooted prestigious family disciples. As long as the supervision system keeps up, the entire new system can maintain high integrity and vitality.

Therefore, it is very important to break free from the institutional constraints imposed by the prestigious families on the Langxuan Heavenly Palace.

All of Chu Shen's reform goals ultimately point to one objective: to remove the prestigious families from the inner court. Inner court disciples should obtain the resources and positions they deserve based on their own abilities and virtues. Both grassroots disciples and prestigious family disciples should have a more fair competitive environment.

As long as this goal is achieved, he does not necessarily have to annihilate the prestigious families.

The territory outside the inner palace is much larger than that within!

The earthly territory under the direct jurisdiction of the Langxuan Heavenly Palace is even larger, and it is sparsely populated!

However, for the prestigious families, this is difficult to accept.

The spiritual environment within the inner palace is incomparable to the outside. Under the rich spiritual environment, abundant resources are cultivated. In addition, there are countless legacies left behind from the ancient Heavenly Court era. As long as the family can establish a stable position within the inner palace, the starting point for the descendants of prestigious families is the end point for many cultivators.

They find it difficult to give up such advantages, not to mention how important it is to be close to the center of power.

"Don't the Vice Palace Master think about themselves and their descendants? According to the development trajectory of the Vice Palace Master's family, won't the Chu family become a member of the prestigious families in the future?"

Chang Ke, or many people from prestigious families, do understand Chu Shen's reform ideas. They also know that the reforms led by Chu Shen are actually more beneficial to the future of the Langxuan Heavenly Palace.

But such reforms are not beneficial to them!

This is the root of the contradiction. Who can be ruthless enough to cut their own flesh and then compete again with the grassroots people they used to look down upon?

Chu Shen smiled, "That's right. With the development trend of my Chu family, we will definitely become a prestigious family in the future. But... for the sake of my descendants, I must promote the reform of the Heavenly Palace's related systems!"

Chang Ke's emotions became somewhat agitated, "You are simply unreasonable. Such actions are not for the sake of your descendants at all. You are only creating difficulties for your own descendants and dragging us down with you!"

Chu Shen, however, smiled and asked in return, "Is this what you think: as long as you leave enough accumulation for your descendants, they can lie comfortably on your accumulation, steadily and step by step, even if there is a limit, the lower limit can be guaranteed, while the disciples from the Xia and Chang families, who are considered grassroots, will have to struggle more?"

Chang Ke stared at him, saying, "Is there something wrong with such thoughts?"

He didn't believe that Chu Shen didn't have such thoughts, because such thoughts were in line with human nature, and it was contrary to human nature to go against the Law Manifestation.

"According to universal reason, your thoughts have their merits. After all, parents should plan for their children's future. With sufficient accumulation from their ancestors, the starting point for the next generation will be higher, and there will be greater opportunities for achievement.

But..."

Chu Shen sneered, "Human nature tends to be lazy. Most people, unless forced by circumstances, are absolutely unwilling to endure hardships.

Especially in the path of cultivation, if you don't progress, you regress. It is a process of constantly honing oneself, and the hardships and difficulties involved are far more arduous than those faced by ordinary people.

In this regard, although the children of prestigious families have a higher lower limit, their upper limit has always been low, which is also a fact, right?"

Chang Ke found it difficult to refute this.

Disciples of prestigious families often have smooth progress in realms such as Qi Refining, Foundation Building, Spirit Gathering, and Gold Core, because as long as they accumulate resources, they can always raise their realms.

And the one thing prestigious families are never lacking in is cultivation resources.

But once they reach the Gold Core stage, it's not just about accumulating resources. Matters such as state of mind, inspiration, and enlightenment become more important than anything else.

At this stage, disciples of prestigious families generally face much greater difficulties in breaking through compared to grassroots disciples.

Take Xiao Chongzhen, the ancestral patriarch of the Xiao family, for example. Compared to the grassroots disciples of her generation, as long as they don't perish, almost all of them have surpassed her in realms by more than just a few small realms, and even in major realms!

Because she couldn't sharpen her extraordinary edge in adversity and hardship like those grassroots disciples of the same period, the aristocratic families paved the way for her at the beginning and blocked her path ahead.

This is also an important reason why aristocratic families often resort to any means necessary for various opportunities.

When it's difficult to make a breakthrough on one's own, can't one only hope for a miraculous opportunity to break the deadlock?

However, Chang Ke still doesn't think there's anything wrong with the practices of the aristocratic families. They seek long-term stability and prosperity.

Although he envies the brilliant lives of tigers and eagles, he will ultimately choose to be like a turtle, hiding and living long.

"Hmph, you're right, it is indeed a fact, but another fact is that we can provide stable middle-level power. A sect needs high-level martial strength, that's for sure, but without a stable middle-level, where will the backbone come from?

Isn't this a good thing that benefits both us and Tian Lei?"

Chu Shen shook his head, "Of course not, that's completely wrong!

You have taken too many resources that shouldn't belong to you, only to cultivate a group of mediocrities who cannot give Tian Gong enough advantage, but instead suppress the future of true geniuses. The few of you benefit, while the overall interests of Tian Gong and the majority of disciples suffer!

You may seem to be paving the way for the younger generation, but you are also inviting resentment from them. The disciples who have been squeezed out of resources by you are your potential enemies!

Moreover, these disciples will also think that Tian Gong is unfair in its dealings, which also damages Tian Gong's credibility among ordinary disciples!

No matter how you calculate it, your existence is more of a disadvantage than an advantage for Tian Gong.

Without solving this problem, the ultimate outcome will be a tragedy for both you and Tian Gong.

So, although my reforms may seem very unfavorable to you, from another perspective, aren't they also a way to save you?"
