Absolute control over the start, I will develop my own immortality

"Senior Lei Zun, how is this city?"

Zhou Ming asked.

Venerable Yun Jian stood on the top of the newly built attic of Wude Residence.

This newly built Wude Residence is not on the ground, but a small complex of buildings built on a floating island.

In the center of the island is Wudeju, which is nine stories high and overlooks the entire city.

He looked at the city below and nodded involuntarily: "The spiritual energy of this city is slightly inferior, but the terrain is indeed good. To the south, it is flat and can connect to other cities. To the north, the Jiulong Mountains are extremely dangerous and have sufficient spiritual energy, which can be used as a development direction..."

"Senior, you have a unique vision. Tianheng City has become a vortex of chaos and we should stay away from it. Although Tuoyue City has a good terrain, it lacks spiritual energy. The next step is to prepare to develop deep into the Jiulong Mountains."

Zhou Ming said with a smile.

That’s right, this Reverend Yunjian is actually Reverend Lei.

But it is not his original consciousness, but just a branch.

The body he was controlling at the moment was not of the human race, but a flesh and blood puppet created by Zhou Ming using the corpses of Venerable Yunqi and Venerable Tiejian.

At this moment, Zhou Ming's methods of puppet making are far superior to the past.

In addition, this time he used the bodies of two Return to Void cultivators to create it, and with his ability to absolutely control it, the strength of this flesh and blood puppet did not decrease at all. On the contrary, it was slightly enhanced due to the material of the puppet.

The initial stage of returning to the void with stable strength.

However, such a powerful puppet will not be able to exert its full power if it is not controlled properly.

Zhou Ming asked Lei Zun to allocate a bit of his consciousness to control this puppet.

With Lei Zun's strength, knowledge and background, he can definitely unleash 100% of the power of this puppet.

It is even possible to perform at 200% and defeat an opponent at a higher level.

"It's a pity that the Lei Ling tribe has so few people now and can't produce many talents. Otherwise, if they come together and participate in management, they can also accumulate experience and facilitate the future."

Lei Zun sighed. This was the only thing he was not satisfied with.

The power has indeed developed at the moment, but it is the power under Zhou Ming that is developing.

Not to mention the high-level ones, even among the middle-level ones, there is not a single one from the Thunder Spirit Clan.

Lei Zun's wish is to make the Lei Ling clan prosperous.

He is not a fool. After so many years, he must be able to see Zhou Ming's thoughts.

For Zhou Ming, it doesn’t matter what ethnic group his subordinates belong to, as long as they are loyal to him, whether they are the Thunder Spirits, the Demons, the Humans, or any other ethnic group.

Therefore, if the Thunder Spirit Clan wants to prosper, it must defeat other clans in terms of ability.

However, now, the Lei Ling tribe is declining in population and there are few talented people.

After all, the starting point is too low.

Before this, those people of the Thunder Spirit Clan were just mortals. Although they had blood in their bodies, it was extremely weak.

Even if there is the help of martial arts to increase bloodline, martial arts and cultivation must complement each other. Only when the cultivation level reaches a certain level can the martial arts take effect and increase bloodline.

If your cultivation is not sufficient, then everything will be at an end.

The only powerful god-transforming master is Lishe Tianjun, but he only has some talent in cultivation and talismans, and has no talent in other aspects.

Before, Zhou Ming had very few talented people under his command, but he was still able to occupy the position of the master of Zuoxian Palace.

Now, with the passage of time, talented people have emerged under Zhou Ming, but she has already resigned from this position to concentrate on practicing and comprehending talismans.

On the other hand, the others are still occupying the position of hall master, and none of them has retreated due to ability issues.

Although the Dharma Transmission Hall where he is located is the key to creating and transmitting talents to the other seven halls and is very important, it does not have much power.

Even if he wanted to favor them and train them, he would be helpless as there were no talented people among the Lei Ling Clan.

Some people asked Zhou Ming if he was fair in his work and only looked at ability and loyalty. Even if there were no talented people now, there would always be talented people if they were carefully cultivated in the future.

But the question is, Zhou Ming can indeed do this, but can his subordinates do it too?

For example, Dahei, as a dragon, the ones who are close to him are naturally other dragons or aquatic monsters.

For example, Xiao Hei, as a tiger demon, likes farming and is naturally friendly to other tiger demons. Or he may be a demon who is content with farming and likes to fiddle with spiritual plants.

After these people come to power, if there is a vacancy under their command, they will naturally appoint someone close to them to take the position.

Ok.

Even if they follow Zhou Ming's example and are fair and impartial based on ability, can the people who promote them do the same?

Now that Zhou Ming's power is expanding, he has plenty of room to recruit people.

Needless to say, the number of members in the Moming Hall has been so large over the years that no one else knows how many members there are except Zhou Ming, who controls the Moming Hall.

Now that they have taken control of Tuoyue City, the External Liaison Hall has also expanded and mobilized a large number of personnel to take control of Wudeju.

Once these people take their positions, they will naturally form a circle.

At the moment, Zhou Ming has set his sights on Jiulong Mountain.

Although this goal cannot be achieved as quickly as in Tuoyue City, as long as there is progress, it will inevitably require trustworthy manpower.

Since the Lei Ling tribe cannot produce talented people, it is natural that other tribes will take over.

In this way, over the years, circles will be formed and mountains will press down on your heads.

I dare not say that class stratification exists, but compared to now, it will definitely be more difficult to reach a high position in the future.

Even if the Lei Ling tribe really has talented people in the future, it will definitely be ten or a hundred times more difficult to get to the top than it is now.

Because of this, although Lei Zun was quite happy to see Zhou Ming expanding his power, he still felt regretful in his heart.

He hid these thoughts very deeply, and no one knew about them, not even Lishe Tianjun.

Because he knew that Lishe Tianjun really did not have the mind and wisdom in this area, so it would be useless to say anything.

Can only keep it in my heart.

But in fact, Zhou Ming also saw through his thoughts very well, but pretended to be completely unaware.

Just as Lei Zun knew, Zhou Ming only required loyalty and ability from his subordinates.

As for other aspects, I don’t care too much.

Yunmeng has this ability, so even if Wudeju expands, it will still be in her hands.

Lishe Tianjun did not have that ability, so even if Zuoxian Palace did not expand, she was dismissed from her position.

Just because she couldn’t manage Zuoxian Palace well.

In the future, when other areas become larger, if the person in charge is incompetent, his power will also be reduced.

However, if they have the ability and do a good job, Zhou Ming has no reason to dismiss them.

Although Zhou Ming obtained the legacy of the Lei Ling tribe, which was of great help, it is also a fact that the Lei Ling tribe cannot produce any talents at the moment.

Is it necessary to promote incompetent people to high positions and bring harm to one's own power just for such things?

Is Zhou Ming such a stupid person?

If a talented person emerges from the Lei Ling tribe in the future, Zhou Ming will not ignore him and will definitely use him.
