Chapter 1301: 1248 Chapter – 1249 Chapter Fire Spirit Bead Choosing Between Long and Short-Term Benefits_2 Chapter 1301: 1248 Chapter – 1249 Chapter Fire Spirit Bead Choosing Between Long and Short-Term Benefits_2 “It seems that your growth has been rapid this time. Originally, I thought you would need more time before being qualified to challenge your opponent,” Pei Xuanjing said, seemingly unconcerned with the reaction from Fire Virtue Star Lord, as if nothing had happened.
Indeed, he was also somewhat surprised by the Fire Virtue Star Lord's recent action.
You should know, even though the other party is a True Immortal, since they have not yet returned to their peak combat strength, Pei Xuanjing originally thought it would take some time for them to recover. Yet unexpectedly, it had happened in such a short period.
Upon hearing this, Fire Virtue Star Lord extended his palm, and a red spiritual pearl floated above it, enveloped by crimson flames, radiating precious light, and emitting a mysterious aura.
“It's quite a coincidence, an opportunistic fortune to have acquired this spiritual pearl containing the origin of the fire path, which has allowed me to exert my peak strength,” he said.
“Oh?” Curiosity flitted across Pei Xuanjing's eyes.
“Please, Emperor Monarch, have a look,” Fire Virtue Star Lord said with a gentle wave of his hand, sending the Fire Spirit Bead flying towards Pei Xuanjing.
Sometimes it really is a matter of luck. He hadn't expected that, not long after his descent into this world, he would stumble upon such a treasure.
This treasure, which he named Fire Spirit Bead, is a naturally occurring marvel, nurtured by heaven and earth, containing a trace of the fire path origin within it.
To a cultivator from this world, or to Martial Artists, it might at most be considered a top-grade divine material for forging Divine Weapons. But for Fire Virtue Star Lord, who wields the Authority of Fire and cultivates the Fire Path Laws, it is like adding wings to a tiger.
Gods hold the Laws Authority, representing heaven in the execution of the Taoist Skill. This is the gods' greatest advantage.
However, having just descended into this world, even Fire Virtue Star Lord, wielding the Authority of Fire and at the True Immortal Realm, would require a considerable amount of time to connect with the heaven and earth of this world and gain more Authority of Fire.
This Fire Spirit Bead, on the other hand, had given him significant assistance, allowing him to connect with the Original Source of Heaven and Earth, becoming more attuned to them and casting divine powers.
Seeing the Emperor Monarch's curiosity, he didn't hesitate to offer it to him for examination and research.
Fire Virtue Star Lord was not worried that the Emperor Monarch would covet his treasure. Not to mention that the Emperor Monarch's moral conduct was not that of an aggressor; the treasure, while useful to himself, wouldn't be of much assistance to the Longevity Taoist Monarch.
Moreover, as the one who had once opened up the Small Thousand World, the Monarch had countless origins of heaven and earth from the time of its creation. He himself had once received a trace of the Origin of Fire from the Monarch, which paved the way for his current realm.
Star Lord Yi Suan's eyes displayed a look of envy. Indeed, the opening of a new world was filled with fortuitous opportunities and opportunistic fortune.
With his insight, even without direct contact, he could ascertain that the Fire Spirit Bead was far from ordinary. It would be considered high-grade even within the Heavenly Court, rivaling the existence of Semi-Immortal Artifacts.
“Excellent! This is indeed the essence of fire. Although it is not much, its nature exists, and it is the best for you,” Pei Xuanjing nodded, turning the Fire Spirit Bead over in his hand and commenting.
Originating from the same source, whether it's from the Small Thousand World or a more powerful world, the essence of these heaven and earth origins is the same, simply varying in strength.
Pei Xuanjing is no stranger to the Original Source of Heaven and Earth. Even though the Fire Spirit Bead contains only a trace, he could still confirm its authenticity with certainty.
“This Fire Spirit Bead, whether you choose to extract the origin of fire within it for refining, or to forge it into a Magical Treasure, both choices are excellent,” Pei Xuanjing waved his hand, returning the Fire Spirit Bead to the other party, and said.
Fire Virtue Star Lord nodded, clearly understanding the two choices he faced. However, he found himself in a dilemma, unsure of which option to choose. That's why he had brought it out, hoping for the Emperor Monarch's advice.
“I am indecisive, uncertain of how to decide. Perhaps the Emperor Monarch could provide some guidance on what to do?” Fire Virtue Star Lord bowed respectfully.
Envy had not yet faded from the eyes of Star Lord Yi Suan when he witnessed how easily the Fire Virtue Star Lord was able to seize the opportunity to ask for instructions, without a hint of embarrassment. He couldn't help but feel contemplative in his heart.
No wonder others have become True Immortals, have become strong; compared to this Lord, my own skin is perhaps too thin.
He knew that the Emperor Monarch's nature was generally such that he would agree to Fire Virtue Star Lord's request.
“Heh, you are indeed clever,” Pei Xuanjing chuckled softly before saying, “Since you have come here, and you have asked, if I chose not to answer, you certainly wouldn't let it be.”
“I will ask you then, are you looking for an immediate effect, or a long-lasting one?”
An immediate effect, or a long-lasting one?
The Fire Virtue Star Lord looked puzzled and somewhat perplexed, and said, “I ask the Emperor Monarch to please clarify.”
However, the divine light was flickering in the eyes of Star Lord Yi Suan beside him, recalling some of the teachings of the Emperor Monarch from this period.
Then, the Emperor Monarch said, “Yi Suan, explain it to him.”
“Yes!” Star Lord Yi Suan nodded and shared his own conjecture: “The Emperor Monarch once said, the path of cultivation is arduous and long. On this path, some people believe that a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. Some believe in accumulating quietly to unleash power later, preferring to endure hardship now for the sake of strengthening their future further. The difference between the two is much like the choice of the Supreme Strong when breaking through the Immortal Path: one deems it crucial to step into the True Immortal Realm, while the other considers accumulating a greater foundation of strength to be more important.”
“As the Emperor Monarch has said, whether Fire Virtue Star Lord wants an immediate effect or a long-lasting effect should be just like this,” Yi Suan asked Pei Xuanjing, “Emperor Monarch, may I inquire if what I've said is correct?”
“Indeed, it seems that you have not forgotten what I have taught you during this time,” Pei Xuanjing nodded in approval, then turned his gaze back to Fire Virtue Star Lord.
“What the Emperor Monarch teaches, yours truly dares not forget,” Yi Suan said hurriedly.
As the Fire Virtue Star Lord listened to their conversation, he reflected on their words, but still asked, “I wonder how one achieves an immediate effect, and how does one go for a long-lasting effect?”
Pei Xuanjing stated plainly, “The so-called immediate effect is simple: if I lend a hand in refining this wisp of the Origin of Fire for you, you could immediately become more powerful in this world, whether it's extending the limit of the Supreme Strong or stepping directly into the Great Emperor Realm. Would you consider it? You must know that if you can certify your path ahead of time, I might consider letting you replace Wood Virtue Star Lord as the lead, or even if not, a dual lead isn't out of the question.”
The Origin of Fire was a truly rare entity; if he agreed to refine it, he could definitely certify his path in this world, or make his limit as one of the Supreme Strong go even further, truly accomplishing a feat like Emperor Wenchang Wang Boan had when he vanquished a True Immortal.
Of course, if he were to certify his path before anyone else, it would affect Wood Virtue Star Lord's plans and Pei Xuanjing would have to change his own strategies, potentially allowing him to take the place of the other as the protagonist or transform the story into one with dual protagonists.
In the integration of this world, as the protagonist representing the Great Ming World, he would inevitably gain immense benefits and countless opportunistic fortunes laid before him.
Upon hearing this, the Fire Virtue Star Lord remained silent, and Pei Xuanjing did not rush him, simply waiting quietly for the other to ponder.
After a while, Fire Virtue Star Lord looked up and asked, “And how should one go for a long-lasting effect?”
Hearing what the Emperor Monarch had said, the benefits of this choice were indeed vast, with results that were immediate.
He could imagine, if he were to take this option, his strength would indeed undergo a rapid transformation, not only giving him more opportunities to seize fortuitous opportunities in this world, but once he truly acquired this world and integrated it into the Heavenly Court, he too could obtain great authority.
However, as the returns of this choice were so rich, and yet the Emperor Monarch believed there was a second option, it meant that the second choice should also be worthwhile; otherwise, if the returns of the two options were not comparable, why would the Emperor Monarch bother to present this choice?
Therefore, under such circumstances, he was also very curious about the returns of the second option, and whether it was worth considering.
