Chapter 1370: Chapters 1318-1319: Govern by Doing Nothing That Goes Against Nature, Arrival of the Mighty Chapter 1370: Chapters 1318-1319: Govern by Doing Nothing That Goes Against Nature, Arrival of the Mighty Everyone has their own choices, and they have their own understandings, especially the strong practitioners who have walked the path of cultivation to this day. They are very clear about their own paths and do not need others to point the way for them.
For a practitioner as strong as Pei Xuanjing, if he does not involve himself in those interest disputes, then those strong practitioners will remember his kindness. Conversely, if he blindly participates in them, no matter how much kindness he has shown, it will eventually be exhausted and turn into enmity.
Instead, Pei Xuanjing's laissez-faire approach somewhat embodies the philosophy of governing by doing nothing. Coincidentally, under this strategy, Pei Xuanjing's reputation has surged.
Just like after these Star Lords arrived in this world, as long as they cooperated with Pei Xuanjing to successfully execute the plan, Pei Xuanjing did not hinder their actions to seek their own benefits with the convenience provided; he tacitly allowed them to act.
When Fire Virtue Star Lord proposed to Pei Xuanjing the idea of attempting to consolidate the Authority of Slaughter, Pei Xuanjing did not organize opposition but rather chose to agree to the other party's request.
In fact, even if it were other Star Lords who proposed the idea, Pei Xuanjing would not have any objection, because he does not want to get involved in these disputes over interests, nor is he willing to obstruct others from legitimately seeking their own benefits.
“Moreover, striving for the Authority of Slaughter is just your pretext, right? For you, although the Authority of Slaughter is indeed strong, compared to the Fire Path Authority, which suits you best, the Authority of Slaughter is nothing,” said Pei Xuanjing with a smile, shaking his head slightly.
Sometimes, for cultivators, it's not that the more powerful something is, the better it is; rather, what suits them best is truly best.
Take the Yin-Yang Laws, Space Laws, Time Laws, Laws of Destiny, for example. Each one of these authorities of laws is incredibly strong, at the very pinnacle of laws.
But not all strong practitioners will blindly pursue such laws. Even True Immortals haven't done so.
For them, their foundational path is already set. No matter for what reason they've reached their current state, their cultivation path cannot be easily changed. Even if they forcibly touch upon these authorities of laws, they won't be able to harness their full potential. Instead, it could bind them, affecting their future path.
The same goes for Fire Virtue Star Lord. The Authority of Slaughter is also a top-tier law authority, something many strong practitioners yearn for, and which he is even capable of mastering.
However, compared to the Fire Path Authority, which perfectly suits him, it's worth virtually nothing.
If we were to use data for comparison, if Fire Virtue Star Lord took hold of the Authority of Slaughter, his strength might increase by 30% to 50%. But if he could condense a Fire Path Authority that is highly compatible with himself, his strength could double.
That is the difference – even if the Authority of Slaughter is marginally higher in level and rank than the Fire Path Authority, why would Fire Virtue Star Lord seek afar and strive for the Authority of Slaughter when he has the opportunity to grasp the Fire Path Authority?
So Pei Xuanjing marvels at the remarkable Fire Virtue Star Lord, who has ruled over the ancient country for thousands of years, showing his extraordinary wisdom and skill.
Outwardly, his goal is to condense the Authority of Slaughter, drawing attention, but in reality, the Authority of Slaughter is just a smokescreen. His true goal is to clandestinely seek the Fire Authority.
Even the efforts he's made to condense the Authority of Slaughter aren't wasted. When the multitude of strong practitioners from the Heavenly Court descend, he could entirely transfer this segment of the Authority of Slaughter's benefits to other strong practitioners, thereby quelling dissatisfaction.
Even more, if he could condense the Fire Virtue Authority ahead of time, he wouldn't need to give up all of the Authority of Slaughter – he could take possession of both.
From these tactics of Fire Virtue Star Lord, it can be seen that none under Pei Xuanjing are to be taken lightly. When it comes to battling for interests, Pei Xuanjing's choice not to involve himself is the most correct one.
The light from the Guiding Altar blankets the sky, continuing for several two-hour periods. Pei Xuanjing feels a slight sensation, knowing that those from the Heavenly Court are about to arrive.
In the Divine Land World (Great Ming World), within the Heavenly Court, a vast altar had already been constructed.
The guards here are not ordinary Heavenly Generals, but are led by none other than Heavenly King Li himself, surrounded by many Heavenly Soldiers and Generals at this location.
While no one within Heavenly Court would dare to come here and sabotage the altar, a place of such importance cannot allow just anyone to approach.
For the sake of guarding the altar, the Heavenly Court has purposely constructed a palace and barracks here, seemingly intending to establish a permanent presence, with strong practitioners kept on watch at all times.
Heavenly King Li sits in the great hall, one hand holding a jade book, the other gently stroking his beard, as if lost in his own thoughts and unable to extricate himself.
Cultivation is endless. Even though he once consumed the fruit of the Divine Tree to ascend to the Strongest Realm and utilized Enthroning Gods to step into the Supreme Overlord Realm, he has still not entered the Immortal Path. Thus, Heavenly King Li naturally would not be content with his current strength and continues his diligent cultivation.
The jade book he holds is an exchange from the Taoist Academy, containing the Longevity Taoist Monarch's understandings and insights into the Immortal Path, known as the “Collection of Longevity Taoist Monarch's Expounding on the Immortality Path.”
This book, upon its first appearance within the Taoist College System, was coveted by countless strong practitioners and became the most sought-after book in the Academy. It details descriptions of the Immortal Path Realm and methods for Supreme Overlords to attempt entry into the Immortal Path, all substantiated with clear arguments.
