Chapter 1269: Chapter 1216 – Chapter 1217: Generous Rewards, Pei Xuanjing's Plan_2 Chapter 1269: Chapter 1216 – Chapter 1217: Generous Rewards, Pei Xuanjing's Plan_2 “Wood Virtue has seen the Emperor Monarch.”
Great White Star Lord returned with Wood Virtue Star Lord in tow.
“This time, being able to discover this world, you should be credited with the primary merit,” Pei Xuanjing addressed Wood Virtue Star Lord. “Since you have made a meritorious contribution, naturally there should be a reward. I now have three ideas for rewarding your primary merit; you may choose one.”
“First, I will personally assist you in certifying the Tao in this world, whether it's to become a Tao-Certifying True Immortal or an emperor or monarch of this world, either is possible.”
“Second, upon our return to the Heavenly Court, the court will provide the materials, and I will personally forge an Immortal Artifact for you.”
“Third, I will promise you a Divine Position among the Heavenly Court Emperor Monarchs. After our return, I will bestow upon you the Authority and elevate your Divine Position.”
Each of these three rewards was akin to offering Wood Virtue Star Lord a direct ticket to the True Immortal Realm.
Whether it was certifying the Tao in this world as an emperor or monarch or, upon his return, elevating his place and Authority within the Heavenly Court, either would aid him in ascending to the True Immortal Realm.
And the forging of an Immortal Artifact was a condition that in no way paled in comparison to the other two rewards. For a True Immortal, even having stepped onto the Immortal Path, to transform an Immortal Artifact through one's own power would require an inordinate amount of time and resources, and was no easy feat even for a True Immortal.
Just like the newly Tao-Certifying True Immortals after their Enthroning Gods, to this day, they have yet to transform and materialize their own Immortal Artifacts or magical weapons of Immortal Artifact caliber.
Logically speaking, even though Wood Virtue Star Lord could discover such a new world, the overall merit could be acceptable, but to reward so generously for the initial merit seemed somewhat excessive.
The reason for this lavishness was clear to everyone; it was to value talent as one would value a horse's bones, serving as public recognition.
In the future, even if someone else could find a similar world, the rewards they receive would be reduced.
“Such generosity!”
Hearing these three rewards, Great White Star Lord beside them couldn't help but click his tongue in quiet amazement, unable to hide the envy on his face.
No matter what, this was essentially the same as opening the grand doors to the Immortal Path for the other party.
“Many thanks to the Emperor Monarch for the generous rewards!” Wood Virtue Star Lord also showed an excited expression, unable to contain the joy on his face.
They took such great risks to traverse the Chaos Void for what? Wasn't it to seize an opportunity for themselves, to find the fortuitous opportunities required for advancement to the True Immortal Realm?
Yet even having discovered this world, Wood Virtue Star Lord had not anticipated reaping such great gains.
He was even clearer in his heart that this was only the initial primary merit. Once they could genuinely integrate this world into the Great Ming World, he might be able to seize this opportunity to leap forward, closing the gap.
True Immortal was not the same as True Immortal. The time of certifying the Tao and the derived fortune and resources all contributed to the varying levels of power and Realm among the multitude of True Immortals.
To become a True Immortal now, without opportunities, one would still have to abide beneath others. But now, Wood Virtue Star Lord saw the possibility of surpassing.
“Have you decided which option to choose?” Pei Xuanjing said with a smile, taking note of the expressions of the two individuals.
He could have completely avoided Great White Star Lord, yet he deliberately wanted Great White Star Lord to witness the reward given to Wood Virtue Star Lord.
He needed to use the other's testimony to spread this information, to tell more Star Lords that as long as they worked hard, Pei Xuanjing and his people would definitely not be stingy with rewards, providing everything they desired.
Wood Virtue Star Lord hesitated, momentarily uncertain how to choose.
Each and every one of these rewards was so bountiful that it could be of immense help to him on his future path, capable of liberating him from constraints and elevating him above the ordinary.
Observing the hesitation of the Wood Virtue Star Lord, Pei Xuanjing said, “If you can't decide, would you like the Emperor Monarch to choose for you?”
At these words, a trace of surprise emerged in the eyes of the Wood Virtue Star Lord. Without refusing, he promptly responded, “I would appreciate the Emperor Monarch's guidance.”
He had no inkling that Pei Xuanjing might deceive him, for there was no sense in it.
The very act of choosing the reward was already a favor granted to him. If there was any intent to deceive him, a direct choice could have been made without presenting all the options to him.
Even if he was extraordinary, when compared to the Emperor Monarch before him, his vision and scope was woefully inadequate. Obtaining guidance from the other was certainly not a bad decision.
The Great White Star Lord to one side looked at Wood Virtue Star Lord with even greater envy, for what kind of individual was the Great Southern Pole Emperor? His willingness to offer guidance to Wood Virtue Star Lord was indeed a rare opportunity.
“In the view of this Emperor, this first choice–a matter of certifying to the position of Emperor or Sovereign in this world–is most suitable for you,” said Pei Xuanjing to the Wood Virtue Star Lord.
As he observed the contemplative expressions of the two, Pei Xuanjing said, “The latter two choices, whether it's forging Immortal Artifacts or increasing Authority to raise your Divine Position, are actually far too distant for you at present. Unless you're willing to leave this world now and return to the Heavenly Court, these rewards ultimately cannot be transformed into immediate strength.”
“The Emperor Monarch speaks truth. Since I have come to this world, how can I abandon the effort halfway?” the Wood Virtue Star Lord agreed with a nod of approval.
Indeed, as the discoverer of this world, he had already established considerable merits. With the current rewards, he could have completely returned to the Heavenly Court to embark on breaking through the Immortal Path.
However, human ambition is endless. Now that he had come this far and encountered such an opportunity, if he chose to return, it would mean that all subsequent events would have nothing to do with him. If he waited for the Heavenly Court to annex this world in the future, he would no longer be able to gain more benefits.
On the contrary, if he continued to stay here, even though the forthcoming plans would be dominated by numerous True Immortals and he wouldn't obtain too many privileges, as long as he remained, he would inevitably reap significant benefits should the plan succeed.
“Actually, in this Emperor's view, these three choices, while seemingly separate, could all be obtained if you are willing to follow my plan,” Pei Xuanjing said with a smile, casting an even bigger temptation, which made a gleam appear in the eyes of Wood Virtue Star Lord.
Pei Xuanjing continued, “According to my plan, integrating this world into the Heavenly Court is not something that can be accomplished overnight. It requires a power to act as a cover, to attract and guide others who will descend in the future. To establish such a power, there needs to be a central figure strong enough to bear the weight, and among those who have descended, only you are most suited.”
The forces led by Pei Xuanjing were merely an advance party from the Great Ming World. To truly bring this world under the Great Ming, more powerful entities would surely need to descend.
During this process, it is necessary to endow them with suitable identities. After all, the appearance of a strong individual or two wouldn't attract attention, but a continuous stream of powerful beings would undoubtedly make the inhabitants of this world — unless they're fools — take note.
Therefore, they need a plausible identity, or a fitting narrative if you will.
What could be more appropriate than the tale of an unknown soldier rising from obscurity to become an Emperor, founding a thriving power?
For the protagonist of this story, Pei Xuanjing believed the Wood Virtue Star Lord before him was the most suitable.
Because Pei Xuanjing and the Fire Virtue Star Lord differ, their Realms are that of Emperors. The sudden appearance of such strong individuals would inevitably draw the attention and suspicion of the sovereigns of this world.
So, while it was inconvenient for this True Immortal to reveal himself too early, it was best suited to the rest of the numerous Star Lords.
Among these many Star Lords, the Wood Virtue Star Lord had an extraordinary advantage: he had been in this world for over twenty years and had already made a name for himself, with a network of connections.
What was needed next was to follow the script and allow him to continue growing, so the narrative could proceed flawlessly.
“How do you view this plan of mine?” Pei Xuanjing asked with a smile, painting for the Wood Virtue Star Lord before him the many gains that would come as part of the plan.
