Chapter 1074: Chapters 1022-1023 Life Simulation – Shen Xiao Martial Arts Challenge_2 Chapter 1074: Chapters 1022-1023 Life Simulation – Shen Xiao Martial Arts Challenge_2 “How many like Emperor Xuanzong are there in the Da Ye Dynasty? Most are merely mediocre, yet these people get to enjoy all the riches and luxury, oppress and exploit the common folk, revel in their power. Is that fair?”
In the quiet courtyard, with breezes wafting through, Pei Xuanjing's words clearly reached the other's ears, striking directly at the heart.
By the time Pei Xuanjing had reached his realm, though he had transformed into a True Immortal, his true nature hadn't changed; he treated everyone equally.
So for Emperor Xuanzong's complaint about the unfairness of heaven and earth, Pei Xuanjing utterly scoffed at it. The other's current wealth was built on unfairness, so what right did he have to talk about fairness?
Fairness is always relative, not absolute.
If the discussion really went back to fairness and following the rules, the original founder of Da Ye should have remained a loyal official in the former dynasty, and after the fall of Da Xu, he should have committed suicide to show his loyalty to Da Xu.
“…” Emperor Xuanzong remained silent, for though he saw the truth in what Pei Xuanjing said, as a strong man with already settled principles, even seeing didn't move him.
Human nature is hypocritical; one only believes they are right, and everyone else is wrong, much like the Emperor Xuanzong before him.
However, Pei Xuanjing didn't agree with this view. In his opinion, if one truly talked about fairness, the many religious sects and noble families that helped Da Ye overthrow the previous dynasty should similarly overthrow them — it was a predictable outcome.
If one were to follow the rules of the Great Thousand Worlds, there really wasn't much need to think so deeply, as ultimately everything relied on power.
“True Monarch speaks reasonably. Perhaps I was too ignorant,” Emperor Xuanzong stood up, hands behind his back, looking up at the sky with a deep and unfathomable gaze, sighing, “In the end, everything depends on oneself, the cause of the past, and the effect today; no one else is to blame.”
As a Martial Arts practitioner who had reached the Human Immortal Realm, his will was exceptionally firm. Had it not been for him drinking tea from Pei Xuanjing, which momentarily enlightened his cultivation causing a stir in his heart, he would never have expressed such resentful emotion.
Human Immortal Strong, their muscles and bones, skin, blood, and marrow refined, their will firm, connected to heaven and earth, how could they show such an attitude?
This was why he felt that his encounter with this Shenxiao True Monarch was profoundly inscrutable. His Martial Arts will, at the peak of the Human Immortal Realm, was strong enough to rival a Seven Calamities Ghost Immortal and could injure the divine soul of the enemy.
And yet, such a firm will of a Human Immortal Peak Martial Artist was easily influenced, which was quite terrifying and dreadfully alarming.
“Hehe.” Pei Xuanjing laughed and said nothing, noncommittal about his statement.
Sometimes, it's not about what someone says, but what they do.
If the Emperor Xuanzong really had the decisiveness and resolve he claimed, why then did he have such a conversation just now?
But a Human Immortal Peak powerhouse is undoubtedly not to be underestimated in the Great Thousand Worlds, and perhaps the plans of many religious sects and families won't be as smooth as they envisage; there will inevitably be many twists and turns.
“But if it weren't for these twists and turns, for these unexpected and chaotic events, could they serve as an opportunity for my intervention?” Pei Xuanjing pondered in his heart.
If everything went as they had arranged, like all the expected scenarios, his presence would also have no meaning.
For him, chaos was the prime opportunity to gain benefits and make his voice heard.
“Since, as True Monarch said, Da Xing City is a place full of conflicts, what then, does True Monarch intend by coming here?” Emperor Xuanzong's voice rose again.
He finally voiced the reason for his visit, wishing to know what Pei Xuanjing intended.
With the arrival of the Seven Calamities Ghost Immortal, various powers within Da Xing City were alerted, and the other Sects and families reacted; naturally, as the master of Da Xing City, he needed to understand the purpose of the other party.
“Although I come from Southern Province, Southern Province Island is after all a remote area, incomparable to the flourishing of Central State; therefore, I too wish to experience this booming place of Central State, to broaden my horizons,” Pei Xuanjing said with a smile.
“If possible, I would like to open a Taoist Academy here in Da Xing City to teach Taoist Skills.”
Whether Emperor Xuanzong believed him or not, Pei Xuanjing had reached this conclusion already, showing his stance.
“Hmm? Since True Monarch is so inclined, I wonder if you would be willing to accept a few disciples from the royal family?” Emperor Xuanzong's eyes flickered with a strange light, and then he asked.
As an emperor, sometimes he needed to maintain his dignity, yet at other times, he did not take it too seriously, just like now.
Since Shenxiao True Monarch had said he wanted to open a Taoist Academy and take in disciples, the Emperor needed to test whether the other party would accept the royal descendants.
“Everything is predestined, the doors of the Taoist Academy are open to all who are fated,” said Pei Xuanjing with a smile, not refusing.
Opening a Taoist Academy in Da Xing City was Pei Xuanjing's own idea, and he did not mind teaching some skills, as mere power was not everything; he also wanted to spread his lineage's Taoist philosophies from Shenxiao.
With this response and outcome, Emperor Xuanzong had no need to stay regardless of whether he was satisfied or not.
After waiting for the other to leave, Pei Xuanjing instructed Sun Liang, who had just finished practicing, “Let someone fix up the place nicely. If people come seeking to learn, there's no need to turn them away.”
He believed that once Emperor Xuanzong left, his intentions would quickly become known to various parties, and thus, he no longer worried whether people would come to seek tutelage.
Indeed, as Pei Xuanjing had anticipated, there really were no secrets in Da Xing City. Even though Emperor Xuanzong's visit was very low-profile, it had still caught the attention of numerous parties.
Especially since he had already guessed Pei Xuanjing's general intentions, in order to settle the heart of the Da Ye Dynasty's Emperor, he would also share some matters with him.
Moreover, as the stance of Shenxiao True Monarch was not yet established, saying he would open a Taoist Academy and take disciples, it was better to let the royal disciples go and try to draw him to their camp.
An enigmatic Seven Calamities Ghost Immortal was a powerhouse with a significant influence in the Great Thousand Worlds; if they could win him over, there was no need for him to sell his life for the Da Ye Dynasty, just to help restrain some enemies if other religious sects and noble families took action in the future would already be a huge help.
The Da Ye Emperor, upon receiving the news, made a decision immediately and began to spread the message among the royal family.
Many princes, already very curious and intent on winning over the Seven Calamities Ghost Immortal, Shenxiao True Monarch, consequently received the news.
These individuals had wanted to draw Pei Xuanjing to their side but lacked an excuse and reason to seek him out. They couldn't simply impose a visit uninvited. Now, with this excuse and reason, naturally, they would not miss out.
Pei Xuanjing's days in Da Xing City were quite mundane, but naturally, the opening of this Shenxiao Taoist Temple garnered much attention.
It must be noted that in Da Xing City, as the capital of the Da Ye Dynasty, besides the many Martial Arts and Taoist Academies left by various religious sects, there were numerous such academies present.
And in this prospering capital of a powerful dynasty, the opening of any new Martial Arts or Taoist Academy wasn't exactly welcomed by others in the same industry.
Normally, if you are a foreigner without any backing, wanting to open an academy in Da Xing City, you'd need to be recognized by many peers before you'd be eligible.
But Pei Xuanjing didn't, without any formalities, he just set up the plaque for Shenxiao Taoist Academy.
For those powerhouses who already knew Pei Xuanjing's real identity, they might not take action, but you must understand that for ordinary martial and Taoist academies, having a Martial Saint Expert or even a normal Ghost Immortal as a master was already notable.
But such powerful beings still did not have the standing to touch Pei Xuanjing's realm; thus, they fundamentally did not understand Pei Xuanjing's existence and true power.
On the opening day of the Shenxiao Taoist Academy, these peers were somewhat dissatisfied, thinking he did not understand traditions, leading naturally to instances of them coming to challenge the academy.
To tell the truth, Pei Xuanjing, having cultivated to his current level, had never before faced such acts of academy challenging; for him, a True Immortal, it was indeed a rarity.
However, as a True Immortal, he also could not justify taking advantage of his opponents, so he just created an avatar, cast a technique, and thus deterred everyone.
