In the past fifty years, the entire world had changed greatly.
Under the rule of Empress Lin Jingxue, the entire Great Ze Empire was thriving.
Because the war had ended, the entire world had returned to peace. The empress had also issued various benevolent policies that allowed the people to rest and live in peace and contentment.
The population that had been reduced after the war began to recover and increase.
After the war, there were only five million households left in the Central Plains of the Divine Great Land, less than twenty million people.
At this moment, after 50 years, the population had recovered to more than 80 million.
If the population outside the Central Plains was included, the entire world's population was close to 200 million.
The increase in population brought about an increase in productivity, and the economy and commerce of various places also became prosperous, causing the national strength of the Great Ze Empire to continue to rise.
The mess left behind by Lin Cheng's grandfather and father when they were in charge of the Divine Martial Empire was gradually being cleaned up.
On the other hand, the Vast Sea Empire on the grasslands had been declining in recent years. It was now almost in name only and had chosen to bow down to the Great Lake Empire and pay tribute.
The Pearl Empire in the Far West also chose to be on good terms with the Great Ze Empire and submitted a letter of non-aggression.
The entire world was generally peaceful.
Although the empress had yet to abdicate, anyone with discerning eyes could see that the first empress since the creation of the world had achieved unprecedented achievements.
Many people said that if it wasn't for the fact that the empress had become lazy in recent years and had delegated all government affairs to the five cabinet ministers, she would have been able to do so.
She would probably lead the Great Ze Empire to fight to the end of the horizon and expand the territory of the Great Ze Empire to an unprecedented level.
Under such a situation where the world was flourishing, the various sects and martial arts sacred grounds all over the world also welcomed a rapid development.
They operated businesses in various places and recruited disciples to expand their influence.
Although they had to pay taxes to the Great Ze Empire and no longer had to be separated from the rest of the world, their overall strength was still increasing due to the improvement of the overall social environment.
In the past few decades, the organization had also benefited from this peaceful environment and continued to develop.
Currently, the organization Beyond Avalon only seemed to be an organization that sold information for a living in the entire martial arts world.
However, even if they did not count the experts of the headquarters, their power would not be inferior to any of the super-first-class martial arts holy lands in the martial arts world.
"Supreme Being, the organization's peripheral organizations are currently divided into three parts.”
" Firstly, it's the Beggar's Sect that helps us find new members and replenish the organization with fresh blood. They mainly rely on collecting vagrants and abandoned children from all over the world and screening out useful talents.”
"There are many people in Beggar's Sect, but there aren't many experts. Most of them are beginners who only know some superficial martial arts.”
"Although they have a fixed salary, they are scattered all over the Divine Great Land in the name of begging. Besides helping the organization to identify talents, they are also collecting some basic information.”
"The second is the Money Gang, which controls a large number of restaurants, fields, houses, pawn shops, rice shops, clothing shops, blacksmiths, water transport, salt production, and mineral deposits. They are mainly responsible for collecting money and various resources such as medicinal herbs for the organization.”
"There are a lot of martial artists in the Money Gang. There are more than 3,000 people who are responsible for protecting the various industries.”
"However, their strength level is not high. Most of them are third-rate and second-rate. The number of first-rate martial artists can be counted on one hand.”
"The third is the Secret Pavilion, which is responsible for monitoring the world and collecting intelligence. Currently, other than the 30-plus Legendary experts who are sleeping in the headquarters, the rest of the experts are in the Secret Pavilion.”
"The experts in the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets are all official members of our organization, Heaven's Beyond. They have second-class authority, and the weakest among them is first-class. After fifty years of accumulation, there are 1,532 of them.”
"In addition, there are 368 people who have become super first-class experts, and 11 people who have become legendary experts.”
"These 11 legendary experts have accumulated a lot of contributions and obtained Class A authorization. They are all loyal to the organization. Supreme One, you need to assess whether they have the qualifications to become core members.”
Zhang Xiaolong spoke. After giving a general explanation of the changes in the current social environment, he began to talk about the internal situation of the organization.
There were too many experts in the Secret Pavilion. The combined strength of so many experts was enough to sweep across the world.
Of course, under Lin Cheng's strict orders, all the experts of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets were assassins who were good at hiding. Other than monitoring information and occasionally taking action, they almost never exposed their existence.
Lin Cheng was not surprised by these results.
This was the development route that he had come up with for the organization before he went into slumber.
The first generation of executors was Zhang Hai, who had once held the position of the chief of ceremonies, the seal eunuch. It would be strange if he failed under such circumstances.
"Alright, I will test them.”Lin Cheng said.
These experts of the Secret Pavilion had been nurtured since they were young. They had grown up in this organization and found their own fetters here. Moreover, the mental energy secret technique that Lin Cheng had passed down had placed restrictions on them.
It could be said that these people's loyalty to the organization and Lin Cheng was not inferior to those who followed him in the beginning.
Naturally, they also had the qualifications to take the test and become Lin Cheng's core members.
Zhang Xiaolong's explanation made Lin Cheng completely serious.
Previously, he had only talked about the operation of the organization, but now, he was talking about the actual results he had obtained over the years, which would also be related to the resources he needed to become stronger.
"Before you fell asleep, there were only about ten thousand active martial artists in the entire martial world. Most of them were third-rate and second-rate experts, and the number of first-rate and super-first-rate experts did not exceed a hundred.”
"In the past 50 years, the number of martial artists in the martial arts world has begun to increase exponentially.”
"Part of it is the result of the natural growth and development of many martial arts inheritances that were left behind.”
"In addition, a large number of experts were born because of the profound martial arts that the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets deliberately spread.”
"At present, excluding those hidden in the dark, the total number of martial artists in the entire martial arts world is 180,000.”
"Among them, there are more than 8,000 first-rate experts, more than 500 super-first-rate experts, and more than 30 legendary experts.”
"Half of them are scattered among the people, and the other half are in the palace.”
Zhang Xiaolong smiled and said,""Right now, many people are saying that it is precisely because of the existence of an unprecedented martial arts legend like you that martial arts has flourished and developed like never before.”
He did not comment on Zhang Xiaolong's flattering words.
Even if he ignored the experts hidden in the dark, the number of martial artists before him still made Lin Cheng feel satisfied.
The total number of martial artists and experts had almost reached ninety percent of Baili Xingye's generation. No wonder many people felt that this was the golden age of martial arts development.
This amount was the limit that this barren world could bear. It was almost equal to the total amount of heaven essence and earth qi produced between heaven and earth.
If the number of martial artists continued to expand, or if the current number of martial artists continued to expand, it would reach the point of prosperity and decline.
The heaven essence and earth qi in this world would soon be consumed to a negligible degree, and it would be very difficult for the martial artists to grow further.
"Are there any geniuses worth paying attention to among the current legendary experts?”
Lin Cheng glanced at Zhang Xiaolong and asked.
If they were all experts who had grown up relying on the cultivation techniques he had spread, other than providing him with some accumulation of strength, they would basically not be of much use.
Only those experts who relied on their outstanding comprehension ability to bring out the new from the existing martial arts could improve the depth and breadth of the entire martial arts and increase the accumulation of martial arts for Lin Cheng.
