Becoming a Deity from Planting the Bodhi Tree-Chapter 316 - 163: Federation Pattern, The World Across the Channel

"Seed selection competition?"

After gaining a thorough understanding from Qingyang Ancestor about the so-called seed quota and the significance it represents, Ji Jingqiu pondered for a moment.

Purely from the perspective of profit, it would be good to acquire the right to explore another gateway. More opportunities the better.

The only issue is whether the Dragon Tiger Dojo could bite off more than it can chew.

As it looks now... perhaps it can't?

"Ancestor, what is the current power structure of the federation?" Ji Jingqiu asked.

He wanted to clarify the real power structure of the federation, not as discussed by netizens online, but through the eyes of truly significant figures.

Long Qingyang slightly narrowed his eyes, remained silent for a long time before he spoke:

"The federation's structure, up to this day, is overly intricate and complex, even I can't fully grapple with it; I can only speak in general terms."

"Talking about the top-notch, naturally, it's the Six Great Families. Following that, it's the 'One Association, One Palace.'"

"'One Association, One Palace' refers to the Wanwu Association and the Mystic Sky Taisu Palace. You likely haven't heard much about them because they are a pillar on the Heavenly Road, and their news rarely appears in the rear."

"Their nature is rather special, and they are generally regarded as part of the official authority. Both houses have Supreme Grandmasters in charge. We can sit here and chat comfortably because they are perennially stationed at the forefront of the Heavenly Road."

"The current Supreme Grandmasters of the Six Great Families do not exceed three, but they have a profound heritage, for example, the Demigod Weapons of the former Seven Marshals."

Ji Jingqiu asked, "So currently, there are about five Supreme Grandmasters in the federation?"

Long Qingyang stayed silent for a while and said, "No more, no less; our losses on the Heavenly Road have been severe."

"The next tier includes the top forces of the federation, amongst which the most representative is the Six Directions Grandmaster Dao, which currently has genuine Grandmasters in charge."

"Of the same rank, the Religious Administration and the Military Department, which are federal offices, also have Grandmasters in charge."

"Our Dragon Tiger Dojo can barely rank among the top forces; the basis for this level is Grandmaster combat power."

Ji Jingqiu wondered, does their dojo still possess Grandmaster combat power?

"Moving down, the powers have Master-level combat abilities, encompassing many millennial families, mega-corporations, and academies."

"It's worth mentioning that the classification of federation powers is not so strict because internal struggles have always been kept within manageable limits, rarely escalating to Grandmasters outrightly confronting each other."

"In such scenarios, some mega-corporations, when combined, like the Business Alliance, though lacking Grandmaster-level combat power, have many Masters. With their influence and resource mobilization, they can also rank amongst the top."

At this point, Long Qingyang paused a bit and said:

"This is just a rough distribution of the power layout; as for the stance and alliances among various powers, that's a whole tangled mess."

"Not to mention others, take Dragon Tiger Dojo for example. The dojo has been able to survive for ten thousand years; its network has long been spread throughout the federation. On a critical day of life or death, I could even ask the Supreme Grandmaster from the Qin Family to take action."

Long Qingyang's eyes deepened, the situation in the federation is intertwined and complex, pulling one hair moves the whole body, and internal contradictions are increasingly intense, even among the Six Great Families opposition arose, making it ultimately crucial to expand into the Nine States.

Ji Jingqiu roughly understood now. His dojo ranked among the first tier within the federation, just below the official authorities and the Six Great Families.

To independently claim the right to explore a gateway portal under the current circumstances is quite difficult.

"So, Ancestor, how are you planning to handle the portal of East Three Bright Star?"

"First, we'll clarify the situation with the portal and the opposite side, then decide based on circumstances," Long Qingyang thought for a moment and frankly stated, "Actually, no matter the outcome, we will still need to pull people in for partnership."

"Nine States is too vast; relying solely on Dragon Tiger Dojo won't get us far, eventually, we must forge alliances; the key is who controls the leadership."

"Since we discovered the portal first and have established our footing, many things now have room for negotiation, and in the end, pioneers usually have the upper hand."

Ji Jingqiu nodded; he was not opposed to cooperation. In his vision, the Religious Administration, Tiangong Heavy Workshop, and even Star Group, could be potential allies to bring into the alliance later.

As Daoge once said, the federation is too vast, one person's voice is too faint; to be heard by everyone, you must increase your own weight.

Tying yourself with certain people, becoming their core or relying on them, you must unite some and expand your influence.

Regarding handling the portal, Ji Jingqiu and Long Qingyang reached a consensus.

Then, Ji Jingqiu inquired: "What is the Po Suo Half-plane?"

This name inexplicably felt familiar to him.

Is it the "Po Suo" from the Bodhisattva World?

It sounds like it might be related to the World Venerable Lineage?

"One of the heritages left by Marshal Mu, held by the Mu Family, is a half-plane world. Its specific details are unknown, but inside, it's said to contain many opportunities."

"In the past, only disciples of the Six Great Families and Martial Arts Geniuses invited by the Mu Family were qualified to enter."

"This time, it's been persuaded by the federal officials to be used as a location for the youth generation's selection competition, supporting the young Martial Artists."

Long Qingyang suddenly added, "I've heard this half-plane is not solely owned by the Mu Family; at that time, other civilizations from the Great Universe will participate too, such as members from the Human-like Alliance, who look like the Elf Clan, glamorous and charming."

Ji Jingqiu blinked, glamorous and charming?
