The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings Chapter 1094

Chapter 1094: Chapters 1042-1043: Life Simulation–Drinking Poison to Quench Thirst, Unafraid of Dissatisfaction_2 Chapter 1094: Chapters 1042-1043: Life Simulation–Drinking Poison to Quench Thirst, Unafraid of Dissatisfaction_2 It's easy to add flowers to the brocade, but hard to send charcoal in snowy weather.

The same helping hand can mean different things at different times.

Pei Xuanjing nodded lightly and said indifferently, “Such changes in the dynasty have occurred countless times already; for these religious sects and noble families, they are well within their reach. Even without my intervention, they could easily accomplish this matter. Thus, my joining would only mean sharing in their benefits without any good reason.”

“But if the Da Ye Dynasty becomes powerful, exceeding their control, and at times when their own forces are insufficient to suppress disturbances and they need reinforcements, wouldn't my assistance then become as crucial as sending charcoal in the snow? And if successful in the future, shouldn't there be a share of the benefits due to me?”

Sun Liang nodded thoughtfully, then suddenly furrowed his brows, as if he had spotted a problem. Puzzled, he said, “But teacher, if that is so, shouldn't we promote such matters in a low profile? By declaring loud and clear that we are behind the strengthening of the Da Ye Dynasty, even if we resolve the matter successfully, they might still harbor dissatisfaction, or even resentment towards you, Teacher!”

In the midst of a dynasty's change, powerhouses from various religious sects and noble families are involved, and those without enough power can end up paying with their lives, something these religious sects and noble families can accept.

However, if someone behind the scenes exacerbates the conflict during these changes, it would inevitably lead to the fall of many powerhouses from these religious sects and noble families.

Sun Liang's worry is that such acts will certainly attract dissatisfaction from these religious sects and noble families, after all, everyone has friends and family; how could they readily accept this?

Therefore, in his view, shouldn't they act discreetly and not expose such schemes to the public? Why then does his teacher deliberately promote this event?

“Why would they resent me when my actions also lead to their gaining substantial benefits?” Pei Xuanjing said unconcernedly.

Pei Xuanjing was not the least bit worried about this idea.

A change in dynasty is a major calamity; those who last through the calamity to emerge victorious gain substantial benefits. The greater the calamity, the greater the danger, but similarly, the greater the benefits in the end.

At Pei Xuanjing's level, he only cared about his own interests. He didn't mind pushing the calamity forward, as only through such means could he realize his worth and maximize his own benefits.

My heart is the heart of heaven; my will is the will of heaven. For a powerhouse like him, everything he does is for cultivation, although it means that many cultivators would perish in the process.

But the path of cultivation is like thousands crossing a single-log bridge, with only a handful successfully reaching the other side.

Furthermore, by driving this great calamity, Pei Xuanjing was not the only one to benefit. For the cultivators involved, it also presented significant opportunities; they could gain great rewards at the end.

Just as Pei Xuanjing had driven the 'Ascension to Godhood' in the Daming World, all great risks come with great rewards. If one wishes to remain ordinary, not striving or taking risks, then they can choose to stay away without any danger.

But Pei Xuanjing knew that all cultivators harbor ambition and desire, especially after tasting the sweetness of power on the path of cultivation; no one could give up, no one was willing to give up.

And these religious sects and noble families had the same goal. They pushed for changes in the dynasty to prevent the emergence of an imperial court, also to cultivate more powerhouses.

Even though they knew that driving this great calamity would increase casualties, the death of lower-level cultivators was worth the emergence of more powerful cultivators to them.

Moreover, by informing these religious sect and noble families that he had orchestrated the calamity and having them ask him to intervene, Pei Xuanjing had sufficient reason and legitimacy to participate.

Thus, when the dynasty eventually stabilized, Pei Xuanjing could also rightfully claim his share of the benefits.

“The change of the dynasty has already begun, and there is no longer any meaning in your continued closed-door cultivation; you might as well take this opportunity to engage and refine yourself,” Pei Xuanjing said to Sun Liang, his voice calm and steady.

After several days of testing, Pei Xuanjing acknowledged his progress in cultivation, but found him lacking in social skills and awareness.

While Pei Xuanjing could guide and advise him in the cultivation of Martial Arts or Taoist Skills, dealing with certain situations and gaining insights would require him to personally struggle and experience them firsthand.

Now that Sun Liang had become a Ghost Immortal and stepped into the realm of Ghost Immortal, although far from the top in the Great Thousand Worlds, he was considered superior among his peers.

Therefore, he could fully take this chance to partake in the changes within the dynasty to temper himself. Pei Xuanjing did not need him to achieve extraordinary feats; he just needed him to enhance himself, to become more mature and stable.

After all, in Pei Xuanjing's plan, the future involved nurturing him to be the successor of Shenxiao Tao in this part of Heaven and Earth. If that were really the case, how could Pei Xuanjing rest easy?

“Teacher,” Sun Liang initially hesitated upon hearing this, his first reaction being reluctance, but he soon felt a surge of eagerness to try.

Though he had grown up under the protection of a top powerhouse without needing to worry about hardships or adversities, having cultivated diligently for many years and now seeing the changing circumstances under the heavens, with many rising to fame, he too naturally felt an aspiration.

He believed that if given the chance, he could also carve out a reputation and career for himself, proving that his teacher's cultivation of him was not wasted and everything was worthwhile.

Seeing the eagerness in Sun Liang's eyes, Pei Xuanjing smiled and said, “In that case, go prepare yourself, and then you can set out on your own! However, consider this venture as a test I give you. Do not use my name; rely solely on your own efforts, and let's see what kind of achievements you can make.”

How can one see a rainbow without experiencing the storm? This is also why this part of the Great Thousand Worlds holds such high status, and the current situation is complicated; otherwise, Pei Xuanjing would have already sent him out to train.

It is notable that when Pang Hong was still in the Mortal Realm, he had already left Pei Xuanjing to venture through the world. While being in a different Heaven and Earth played a part, it also highlighted that Pei Xuanjing had been somewhat negligent in tempering Sun Liang.

Know that at the same age, although Pang Hong was less powerful, his character was already very mature and capable of managing many affairs on his own.

Of course, although it is said that he should venture alone without relying on Pei Xuanjing's name, as the only disciple in this part of Heaven and Earth, even just a registered disciple, Pei Xuanjing wouldn't really be so heartless.

He still left some preparations on Pang Hong to ensure that in the future, when facing opponents beyond his level, no one would bully the weak.

“However, at this time, it's unlikely anyone would be foolish enough to provoke him,” Pei Xuanjing thought to himself.

With his current reputation, even if Sun Liang were to conceal his surname and identity, the cultivation techniques and Martial Arts he practiced were unique signatures of Pei Xuanjing. Once deployed, they would definitely catch the eyes of those with intentions.

Having a True Monarch like Pei Xuanjing, it would indeed be foolhardy for anyone to underestimate him and make a move against him.

Sun Liang complied and left to pack his belongings. Before leaving, he asked Pei Xuanjing another question, “Teacher, which force should I choose to join?”

Currently, the Da Ye Dynasty had many forces vigorously recruiting powerhouses. With Sun Liang's age and capabilities, as long as he was willing, no force would refuse him.

But which force to join was still a bit puzzling for Sun Liang, as he had never interacted with them, and his understanding of these forces was based solely on written reports.
