Chapter 1350: Chapter 1298–Chapter 1299 Chapter 1350: Chapter 1298–Chapter 1299 Misfortune may be an actual blessing!
Sometimes loss does not equate to failure; on the contrary, it might be the beginning of success.
The Expansion Plan spearheaded by Pei Xuanjing and his cohorts might seem unethical and domineering from the perspective of those being assimilated, a form of hegemony.
But these are the most basic laws of nature: The survival of the fittest, the law of the jungle prevails.
“Losing one's homeland, depending on the charity of others, can that really be considered a good thing?” Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder's face showed a hint of coldness as he spoke disdainfully.
At this moment, he had regained his composure, and his whole attitude had undergone a change.
If the Emperor of Longevity before him was some ancient creature with inscrutable designs, under the current circumstances, he could still feign compliance, acting one way or another.
None of that would mean anything, after all, a wise man does not swallow bait at the cost of his pride.
However, the identity of his opponent was not so; the opponent was a foreigner, an ambitious one at that, which meant their stances were inevitably opposed, their interests conflicting and irreconcilable.
Moreover, in his view, since his opponent dared to lay it all out in the open, it naturally meant harboring intentions of silencing him. If his own survival was already impossible, then why should he be so humbly subservient?
“Heh, the consequences of forcible integration are endless troubles,” Pei Xuanjing said with a light laugh. “The World of Divine Land accommodates all beings, and it is not necessarily about annihilating the opponent. By joining the World of Divine Land and becoming part of it, you too will have a vast world where great deeds can be accomplished.”
But Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder only sneered, unmoved.
To him, such words were nothing but honeyed traps, and to believe in them would be foolish.
Seeing this, Pei Xuanjing did not continue on that topic and switched to another one.
In essence, persuading someone is never a simple matter, especially in the current situation. Convincing someone to switch allegiances and give up the world that nurtured them is not a decision everyone can easily make.
Moreover, given that they have only just met and have no past friendship or foundation of trust, anything he says might just seem like empty promises to the opponent, hard to take at face value.
Therefore, Pei Xuanjing knew that to truly persuade the opponent, he needed to produce substantial benefits that would entice him.
“Speaking of which, this Emperor is curious, how many years have you been cultivating?” Pei Xuanjing asked with a smile.
Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder paused, unsure why the other party was asking about this, but he saw no reason to refuse to answer.
The number of years he had lived might be a secret to common Martial Artists, but for those who have ascended to the Great Ancient Emperor Realm, such matters are no secrets.
With Pei Xuanjing's strength, and the current influence of the heavenly gate, uncovering such information would not be difficult, so he felt no need to conceal anything.
“Since I began my cultivation, I have lived for fifty-three thousand years,” declared Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder proudly.
In other worlds, the length of cultivation might not be something to boast about, but it is quite different in this world.
Even though every Martial Artist who steps into the Great Ancient Emperor Realm is theoretically immortal, living tens or even hundreds of thousands of years with ease,
Do not forget, this world is different. The battles among Martial Artists have never ceased. Starting from the moment one sets foot on the path of Martial Arts Cultivation, continuous strife is a given. Even after ascending to the Great Ancient Emperor Realm, one cannot truly rest easy.
Martial Artists who have not reached the Great Ancient Emperor Realm focus on how to ascend.
While those who have become Great Ancient Emperors need to constantly perfect their foundation and also fend off the competition from successors. Any lapse can lead to a fall from their Realm.
The position of each Great Ancient Emperor is precarious; their lives filled with unending competition and slaughter, constantly facing challenges from those who come after them.
Like Emperor Tianyang, a Great Ancient Emperor who is considered ancient, or the Great Myriad Laws Emperor who lived for less than twenty thousand years before falling, there are many such Emperors.
Among them, Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder, having lived for fifty-three thousand years, is one of the oldest amongst the many Great Ancient Emperors.
This also signifies his strength, having defeated countless challengers, justly fueling his pride.
“Fifty-three thousand years, indeed a long time,” Pei Xuanjing couldn't help feeling somewhat moved.
Fifty-three thousand years, for the current Pei Xuanjing, truly is a long time, even though after ascending to True Immortal he theoretically has a limitless lifespan.
But in reality, from the start of his cultivation journey to where he is now, even if he added up all the time experienced in his simulated life, he probably hasn't even reached ten thousand years, let alone fifty thousand, which is nearly just a fifth of it.
Not just Pei Xuanjing, but even the elder True Immortals of the Great Ming World, such as the venerable Ancestor Celestial Master who probably hasn't lived for more than fifteen thousand years, does not even possess a third of this Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder's lifespan.
Compared to Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder, these individuals are all considered the younger generation, the youth.
