Chapter 1357: 1304-1305 The Ambition of the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder_2 Chapter 1357: 1304-1305 The Ambition of the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder_2 “Your Majesty, I myself have no pressing matters, may I impose upon this place for a few days?”
Different Great Ancient Emperors each made their own choices; some were not at ease leaving their forces unattended, therefore choosing to depart temporarily and return after three months.
Other Great Ancient Emperors had no immediate concerns about their own affairs and thus decided to wait in the Holy Land of Wind and Thunder for three months.
Regardless, the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder was unconcerned by this; he began to seriously contemplate his next courses of action.
“Emperor Monarch, what do you think the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder will ultimately decide?” inquired the Wood Virtue Star Lord with curiosity.
At that time, these Star Lords had all gathered on Myriad Laws Mountain, after listening to the Emperor Monarch reveal everything to the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder and even allowing him to depart, they became curious about how the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder would choose to proceed.
Of course, as curious as they were, none of these Star Lords were concerned that the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder might divulge their plans after his departure, possibly disrupting their schemes.
Because as Pei Xuanjing had said, the torrents of the era had begun to surge, unstoppable by anyone.
Over the years, they had established sufficient foundations in this world, capable of guiding the descent of powerful beings from the Heavenly Court, making their plans unstoppable.
“He who understands the times is a true hero. Having witnessed the Emperor Monarch's might, would the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder truly consider contending with the Emperor Monarch?” chuckled a certain Star Lord.
This time, the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder had indeed experienced firsthand the fearsome power of the Emperor Monarch. Facing an insurmountable adversary, submission was not a difficult choice.
After all, the plans of the Heavenly Court were also advantageous to them and not merely losses. So, following rational thought, cooperation was the best choice, and resistance the most foolish.
“Perhaps not so, if the Emperor Monarch lets the other party leave freely, the other party might overestimate their own value and thus be misled, ultimately making the wrong choice,” countered another Star Lord.
Worldly affairs are unpredictable, and the human heart is difficult to ascertain.
The intentions of the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder were unclear to them; they did not have a firm grasp on what he truly thought.
After all, their understanding of the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder was superficial. They had never delved deep into many aspects of his being, and their analysis was merely based on the advantages and disadvantages they could observe. However, there were other factors that could influence him, factors they were unaware of.
Several Star Lords engaged in endless debate, but among them, the Fire Virtue Star Lord, Fate Controller Star Lord, and Star Lord Yi Suan all wore smiles, not participating in the dispute.
“Enough, there's no need to argue over these matters,” chastised the Fire Virtue Star Lord seeing the quarrel intensify.
The other Star Lords immediately ceased their clamor, not just out of respect for the Fire Virtue Star Lord's prestige as a True Immortal but also knowing it was inappropriate to be so discourteous in the presence of the Emperor Monarch.
“What the Fire Virtue Star Lord said is correct. It matters not how the other party chooses. Does their choice really influence our actions? Do we halt our plans because the other party opposes them?” Star Lord Yi Suan also asserted gravely.
Indeed, the Heavenly Court's incorporation of this world was the will of all its mighty powers; none could defy it.
Their coming to this world, and all their actions, revolved around this goal; they would not be diverted due to any individual or collective will. This was certain.
Therefore, whether the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder approved or opposed, the plans still needed to be pushed forward.
Would they change their plans because of his inclusion? Or should they stop them if he opposed?
This is simply impossible!
Even if the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder chose to cooperate, it should be he who aligns with the plans and actions of the Heavenly Court, not take control of their plans.
And if he were to oppose, it would merely mean one more enemy, becoming another opponent to suppress in their subsequent actions.
“How is the preparation for the Guidance Array going?” Pei Xuanjing's gaze shifted to several people as he spoke.
Just as the Fate Controller and the others had said, Pei Xuanjing did not care about the choices of the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder; in fact, he had no worries even if the latter decided to oppose him afterward.
The reason Pei Xuanjing said so much to the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder was not just because he really wanted to Value Talent and set an example for the strong of this world, to avoid more casualties.
Another reason was that he valued talent; the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder was quite powerful, and if he were willing to cooperate, he could join the Thunder Department of the Heavenly Court in the future and hold a true god position. This would enhance the strength of the Thunder Department, and he would also have a brighter path of cultivation ahead of him.
But as much as he valued talent, if the other party really couldn't see the situation clearly and actually wanted to stand on the opposite side, then Pei Xuanjing would show no mercy and would decisively suppress him.
Frankly speaking, Pei Xuanjing's invitation to the other party was an offer of goodwill, considering the strength of the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder, but it was also due to a coincidental opportunity. However, the world never lacked strong cultivators with potential, and with Pei Xuanjing's authority and position, he could completely nurture such strong characters, it would just cost more resources.
However, once the Heavenly Court's Expansion Plan was underway, Fortuitous Opportunities like these would mean nothing. As long as this opportunity progressed smoothly, there would be no lack of cultivation resources for the strong of the Heavenly Court, and Pei Xuanjing would certainly not lack any with his authority and position.
Recruiting him was a gesture of goodwill, but it was no problem if he refused. Even if everything was declared to the whole world, Pei Xuanjing was not worried.
What he was concerned about now was the construction of the array to guide many strong beings of the Heavenly Court. Once the array was activated to summon them, even if all the Great Ancient Emperors of this world truly united, it would be futile.
“The array will still need some time to be completely finished,” stated the Wood Virtue Star Lord, who, as the nominal leader, was naturally the one to push these matters forward.
Don't think that these matters are unimportant, or that any Star Lord could handle them.
On the contrary, the so-called unity of word and deed, commands coming from the top, since Pei Xuanjing initially determined the Wood Virtue Star Lord to be the lead figure for this plan, they had to give him enough rights to get involved in more matters, to assert his presence and increase his involvement, so that he could gain enough rewards in the future.
In this grand plan of expanding this world, summoning many strong beings from the Heavenly Court to lay the foundation for ultimate victory is undoubtedly a crucial node in the entire plan, and having the Wood Virtue Star Lord in charge is the most suitable choice.
“Do not delay anything; we have already spent not a short time in this world. If we continue to drag on, I fear others will become discontent,” Pei Xuanjing said casually.
However, his casual words caused quite a reaction in the Fire Virtue Star Lord and Wood Virtue Star Lord, their expressions changing subtly.
They couldn't help but guess in their hearts whether the Emperor Monarch was not satisfied with their actions over this period of time and intentionally wanted to knock them into shape.
Maybe it was because they had something to hide, or they thought there was more to the Emperor Monarch's words than met the eye, that they did not rebut. Respectfully, they said, “We will obey the Emperor Monarch's command.”
“That will be all, you may go now. I want to see the Guidance Array activated within a month,” Pei Xuanjing made his final conclusion.
The Star Lords exchanged glances, looking at each other in bewilderment, but said nothing more and each went their separate ways.
“Heh,” watching their retreating figures, Pei Xuanjing chuckled softly and shook his head internally. “Not one of them is easy to deal with; if they're not set straight, they might continue to drag their feet.”
Indeed, just as those Star Lords had surmised after hearing Pei Xuanjing's words, he was indeed chastising them to tighten up their actions and not to go too far.
