Chapter 1345: Chapter 1292–Chapter 1293 Fundamental Standing Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder_2 Chapter 1345: Chapter 1292–Chapter 1293 Fundamental Standing Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder_2 But in this moment, he suddenly felt that his schemes had come to naught, the so-called “Value Talent” idea might just be wishful thinking on his part, and from the perspective of those strong beings standing at the Heavenly Gate, it isn't necessary.
Value Talent, to court, this is considered from the aspect that they need this strength.
But if one is already so powerful as to not need to court others, then such an action of Valuing Talent is utterly unnecessary.
It is just so now, judging from the information discovered by the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder, the might of the Heavenly Gate is beyond doubt, does such a formidable Heavenly Gate still need my overtures of goodwill?
would they be willing to offer sufficient benefits to court me?
Originally, my thought was that both sides would reach a cooperation, but cooperation is built on the premise that the strength of both sides is roughly equal.
Based on the strength that the Heavenly Gate has now revealed, the foundation for such a cooperation does not exist, so how can cooperation even be discussed?
“Your Excellency has come today, surely not just to discuss with me some ancient anecdotes?” Pei Xuanjing fiddled with his teacup, speaking casually.
Pei Xuanjing neither affirmed nor denied what the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder said.
He naturally understood the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder's intentions, understanding that the other was testing him, probing the bottom line of the Heavenly Gate.
However, Pei Xuanjing had no wish to respond to this probing, nor did he want to become entangled with the other party on this matter, and so he changed the topic.
Seeing that the Emperor of Longevity did not take up the conversation, the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder gave him a profound look, took it as tacit agreement, and pressed no further, smilingly saying, “The Taoist Skill of the Heavenly Gate is mysterious and profound, initially I was intrigued upon hearing of it, and many doubts arose in my heart, thus after silent contemplation, I have come to the Heavenly Gate seeking answers, may I inquire if the Great Emperor can enlighten me?”
Although he already had a strong suspicion, the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder was not one to easily give up, he completely abandoned other notions and bluntly stated his purpose.
“Heh, answers certainly exist, but I wonder what you wish to exchange for them?” Pei Xuanjing looked directly at him.
Since the other party no longer beat around the bush, Pei Xuanjing was pleased with this straightforwardness and thus posed his question directly.
“Heh, does not the Heavenly Gate have a saying that it is willing to impart without selfishness?” the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder retorted.
“The Tao may be imparted, but the Skill must not be casually transmitted!” Pei Xuanjing chuckled lightly.
The Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder fell silent, his mind conceiving several ideas, and he asked, “Then may I know how the Great Emperor thinks the Skill should be passed on?”
“The Skill is passed to those with destiny, but I wonder whether Your Excellency is such a destined individual?”
“What defines a destined individual!”
“All who enter my Heavenly Gate are destined,” Pei Xuanjing declared.
“As expected, the Heavenly Gate does harbor ambitions!” The Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder's eyes revealed his realization.
He had seen countless ambitious figures rise to power, all harboring dreams of unifying the world, yet not one had ever succeeded.
Those people were so, and the Heavenly Gate before him was even stronger than those forces; it was only natural for them to harbor such dreams.
But!
But for a character like the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder, he was unwilling or rather unable to accept this.
As an Emperor, a pinnacle being standing between heaven and earth, they would never easily submit to another, no matter how powerful the other might be, it still would not happen.
“`
“In this world, who knows how many powerful beings have harbored such ambitions, yet in the end, not a single one has succeeded. Does Your Excellency know why?” the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder spoke with a solemn tone, his expression serious, and a trace of an unfathomable hue in his eyes.
“Oh, may I hear the details?” Pei Xuanjing asked with a smile.
“Because, Martial Artists are unyielding! Every Martial Artist who has become an Emperor or an Ancient Emperor would not succumb to others!” the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder declared in a heavy voice.
The indomitable spirit of Martial Artists is ingrained in their very bones, and the many Great Emperors and Ancient Emperors of this world rarely submit to others. The reason that the descendants of these emperors, even after achieving the same Realm, do not submit to their forebears but instead choose to create their own imperial dynasties, is precisely because of this.
Pei Xuanjing was not surprised by the answer of the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder. If he did not know these things after coming to this particular world, then what would be the point of all their schemes and planning?
And what does it matter if these things are known? Sometimes, under the absolute suppression of power, all resistance is in vain.
“Those who failed did not do so because their resistance was particularly fierce, but because their strength was insufficient!” Pei Xuanjing set down the cup in his hand, a look of disdain in his eyes as he scoffed.
Pei Xuanjing was not merely a person of mild temperament; he had never lacked a domineering nature.
Moreover, he was all the more aware of one thing: no matter what the plan was, in the end, it needed enough strength to support and protect it for successful execution.
Only with sufficient power to deter can one ensure that others will listen to you and seriously consider your reasoning; otherwise, it is all futile, like playing the lute to a cow.
Upon hearing this, the Great Emperor of Wind and Thunder's expression also darkened, his gaze not yielding in the slightest as he looked towards Pei Xuanjing.
In his opponent's eyes, he saw confidence, an unimaginable domineering will, and the aura of the Emperor of Longevity before him seemed to command heaven and earth like an overlord.
This was the true nature of Pei Xuanjing's incarnation. While the original Longevity Taoist Monarch might have a gentle side, the South Pole Eternal Life Emperor, as his Divine Tao incarnation, wielded the Thunder Power and occupied the throne of the Taoist Monarch of the Divine Tao, naturally exuding majesty capable of suppressing all.
At this moment, as Pei Xuanjing altered his demeanor, the authority and domineering he exhibited were enough to shock the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder, who thought himself accustomed to storms.
However, even so, the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder did not retreat. Over the long years, he had seen countless strong individuals but had never backed down.
He spoke solemnly, “If that is the case, this lord must also ask for lessons; please don't hesitate to enlighten me, Your Excellency!”
In the end, it all comes down to power. The present Emperor of Longevity was confident in his own strength, but the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder was equally confident in his own.
To reach the Immortal Path Realm, these mighty individuals might have any number of flaws, but each one of them is unique, full of self-confidence, with an unbeatable mindset.
Even if this world is imperfect and the paths of these emperors and ancient emperors are incomplete, the fierce competition in the world of martial arts that they have experienced, used to life and death, has ensured that every true peak Emperor and Ancient Emperor has an unwavering, invincible Martial Spirit.
Thus, he wanted to test the waters, no longer with words but to truly see the strength of this Emperor of Longevity; does this individual really have the power to suppress the whole world?
Unlike when the Lord of Fire challenged Emperor Tianyang, and a mysterious giant hand appeared, causing their shock because such an unexpected event surprised them.
But with time to absorb the shock, these individuals cooled down and truly appreciated the mystery of the Taoist Skill. Although they were quite wary of the creator of this Taoist system, now that matters had reached this point, it did not mean he lacked the courage to make a move.
Martial Artists value courage above all!
No matter what the identity of the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder might be, he is foremost a Martial Artist. If, when faced with a powerful enemy, he lacks the courage to engage, losing his bravery, then he has already failed, and everything he stands for becomes meaningless.
“Good, this Emperor is also quite curious about the strength of the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder!” Pei Xuanjing said softly with a smile, nodding his head.
Since coming to this world, he had always been the one pushing everything from behind the scenes, never once making a move, because his subordinates were capable enough to carry out all these tasks.
In fact, when the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder had appeared, and the Fire Virtue Star Lord wanted to take action, Pei Xuanjing could have allowed him to do so. After all, with the Divine Artifact forged from the Fire Spirit Bead in hand, he could ensure that the Fire Virtue Star Lord would stand on invincible ground.
