Chapter 264: 208: All Beings Assist Me in
Indeed, that was a notion that had just occurred to Pei Xuanjing.
Originally, he planned to move step by step, clandestinely controlling a region, laying down formations, breaking the seal with the formations, stirring the resurgence of heaven and earth, and thereby accelerating his cultivation process.
However, because of Yu Yangzi’s words, he had changed his mind.
At first, he was infuriated by Yu Yangzi’s words, seeing them as a lack of trust in him. Bringing in more forces would reduce his share of the benefits.
But soon, he had come to an understanding.
Since he was laying down formations and inciting the resurgence of heaven and earth, why not seize the opportunity to achieve something greater?
The Shenxiao Sect’s initial aim was to control the throne, enthrone deities, and establish a divine dynasty on earth.
But the Shenxiao Sect was too narrow-minded at that time. They had too few allies, leading not only to their failure but also to the destruction of their sect.
However, now with the Emperor dead and no new one yet crowned, the Great Ming imperial court is in a period of turbulence.
If we could seize upon this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to ally with numerous forces within the Daoist schools, it just might be possible to seize the moment and accomplish this task.
As for opposition from all sides, it wouldn’t be a problem if we could incite the Resurgence of Heaven and Earth. Under such vastly changing circumstances, it would be challenging for all sides to unite together.
Even at that time, if we could unify the power of the Daoist schools, we might well suppress any opposition.
“This…” Qingyang Zi’s face was full of shock, and he was so taken aback by Pei Xuanjing’s speech that he was even speechless.
He could never have guessed that Pei Xuanjing would harbour such a thought. This plan was totally different from their previous ones, and far grander by tens, hundreds, even thousands of times.
If the previous plan were exposed, the alliance of several forces would cause the rest to hesitate, enabling the rest of us to retreat safely.
But if we followed what Pei Xuanjing said now and failed in the end, it would likely provoke a joint attack from all sides.
Yu Yangzi also wore a shocked expression, feeling that he had truly misjudged Pei Xuanjing. He had previously thought that Pei was different from the previous members of the Shenxiao Sect.
Yet now, hearing his statements, it seemed that Pei was a direct disciple of the Shenxiao Sect. His inherited madness didn’t differ by a single bit; in fact, it even surpassed it.
“What an unparalleled hero. He truly is the reviver of our Shenxiao Sect,” thought Yu Zhenzi excitedly in his heart.
As an independent practitioner, besides his strength, what he valued most was his identity as a member of the Shenxiao Sect.
Every time he remembered the glory of the Shenxiao Sect in its heyday, he longed to have been born in that era when the sect ruled the Taoist schools and guided the world.
Being able to serve under Pei Xuanjing, apart from being bound by sword intent, was also due to the boldness he saw in Pei. That domineering spirit, which looked down upon the world, was something the Lord of Shenxiao Gate, who was always hiding in the shadows, could never match.
He saw in Pei Xuanjing the hope for the Shenxiao Sect to rise again and once again dominate the world. That’s why he chose to submit to Pei Xuanjing in the end.
Now, hearing of Pei Xuanjing’s grand plans, his first thought wasn’t about what to do if they fail, but of a future where the Shenxiao Sect rises again and leads another glorious era.
Such a lord is the one whom Yu Zhenzi truly wishes to follow.
As for Pang Hong, his expression remained calm. It wasn’t that he didn’t understand the implications behind all this, it was more that he trusted Pei
Xuanjing to an unimaginable degree. In his eyes, there was never a time that the old teacher’s plans failed.
Pei Xuanjing looked around at everyone, taking in all their eyes before he began to speak solemnly:
“Gentlemen, I understand that changing our plan this abruptly might seem rushed. But with such a rare opportunity before us, if we succeed, when Heaven and Earth are revived, we in the Daoist schools will undoubtedly be able to guide the world. We might even be able to grasp the opportunity for immortality.”
Unconsciously, as his power increased, Pei Xuanjing’s mindset had changed.
After experiencing battles with Bahu Si Ba and Master Sanfeng in illusions, and then a battle with the old heavenly master a few days ago, Pei Xuanjing was undoubtedly at the pinnacle of this world now.
For him, although there might still be people in the ordinary realm who could kill him, unless he was facing a siege from countless masters and refused to run away, there is nothing else in this world that can threaten his life.
That was when he realized he didn’t need to fear anything anymore.
He could do what he wanted according to his own thoughts, using Heaven and Earth as a canvas and all beings as ink, to paint a beautiful world of his own.
Whether it was the Great Ming royal family oppressing the people or Zhao Baiyang intending to disrupt the world for his ideals.
No matter what.
If he wasn’t satisfied with the world, why not use his own thoughts and understanding to guide its development in the direction he wants?
When poor, only care for oneself; when rich, help the world.
Of course, besides these, he can also fulfill Pei Xuanjing’s pursuit.
Becoming immortal, cultivating alone was not as easy as getting help from all beings.
Using Heaven and Earth as a furnace, and all beings as workers; the life simulator as charcoal, and the knowledge of all families as copper.
Thus forging an immortal path to longevity.
All beings help me to become Dao, and I protect all beings to become immortals.
For all beings in this world, tirelessly paving the way and opening up a grand path to immortality.
At this moment, Pei Xuanjing didn’t want to choose to walk the Great Tao alone, seeking immortality just for himself..
