/ The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings Chapter 1377
Chapter 1377: Chapters 1324-1325_2 Chapter 1377: Chapters 1324-1325_2 Following that, the master and disciple discussed various matters. Pei Xuanjing also showed concern for Pang Hong's recent cultivation progress, listening to Pang Hong share some interesting occurrences within the Shenxiao Sect and the Heavenly Court.
Then, Pei Xuanjing shared some of his own insights on cultivation, and guidance on the Immortal Path's cultivation methods to Pang Hong, even going so far as to hold a special sermon.
As his only direct disciple and the successor to his Golden Core Dao, it was natural for Pei Xuanjing to show such concern for Pang Hong.
Listening to Pei Xuanjing's new understanding of the Golden Core Dao and combining it with his own knowledge, Pang Hong gained a clearer understanding of the path he would follow next.
Seeing his disciple deep in thought, Pei Xuanjing did not rush him, but quietly waited for his disciple to reflect on himself.
After a long time, Pang Hong came back to his senses, his eyes flashing with brilliance and a smile appearing on his face.
“Disciple thanks Master for your guidance.”
“Why be so formal? You are my disciple, and this is what a master should do,” Pei Xuanjing said with a smile, shaking his head.
Pang Hong smiled, then said, “Actually, the reason I came today is to report to Master that the task you assigned the other day has been accomplished. What should be done next, I await your instruction.”
Back in Shenxiao House of Jade Purity, Pei Xuanjing had specifically arranged for Pang Hong to undertake certain tasks, and now he was reporting back.
Pei Xuanjing nodded and said, “There's no rush with this matter; the time has not yet come.”
It was merely some preparatory work he had done for that task; it was not yet time to put it into action.
“Yes!” Pang Hong replied, not asking for the reasons.
“Speak, what else would you like to ask?” Pei Xuanjing, seeing Pang Hong hesitant to speak, laughed and scolded, “Between us, as master and disciple, what is there to hesitate about?”
Indeed, as Pei Xuanjing had said, their relationship as master and disciple was profoundly deep; there was nothing that needed to be concealed or hesitated over.
“Disciple would like to inquire about the matter of that world; are we just handing it over and not intervening anymore?” Pang Hong asked, his face showing embarrassment.
Although Pang Hong did not know the details of what Pei Xuanjing's Divine Incarnation did in that world, it was known that among those who descended to that world were some powerful members of the Shenxiao Lineage.
These powerful beings were extremely curious and wanted to know Pei Xuanjing's true intentions, but since they could not meet the Emperor of the South Pole Eternal Life who was in seclusion, they chose to send back messages to Pang Hong, seeking to understand the Taoist Monarch's true intentions.
As the pioneer of the Shenxiao Sect, even though Pei Xuanjing had delegated all tasks to Pang Hong, no one could shake or disturb his status and authority.
And these messages from the Star Lords were not meant to question Pei Xuanjing's decisions; rather, such unexpected outcomes left them unprepared and uncertain about how to proceed, seeking clarity on a definite direction.
Pang Hong, upon receiving this message, albeit having some guesses, was still unsure, and thus wanted to inquire further.
Hearing this, Pei Xuanjing was momentarily puzzled by what Pang Hong referred to, but he soon realized and shook his head, saying, “That's right, it was indeed an oversight on my part, for not instructing you.”
Pei Xuanjing had now understood what Pang Hong was referring to; it was simply about himself awaiting the arrival of many powerful beings from the Heavenly Court in that new world and then choosing to retreat, leaving all matters to others while expressing an attitude of non-interference.
About this approach, Pei Xuanjing had initially planned to explain to the people of the Shenxiao Sect, but unexpectedly, after he entered seclusion, he achieved some results and was delayed for some days; hence, this situation arose, compelling those Star Lords to take a detour to seek answers from Pang Hong.
“This matter is unrelated to them; it was I's own choice. They may carry on with the plan as originally devised without worrying about being affected,” Pei Xuanjing said to Pang Hong, thus clarifying his stance and providing the many Star Lords of the Shenxiao Sect with a definite response, which reassured them.
Pei Xuanjing's decisive departure, entrusting all matters to the Ancestor Celestial Master and the Blood Fiend Ancestor, was indeed a manifestation of his attitude, just as the Ancestor Celestial Master and others believed.
As a pioneer of the Heavenly Court's Expansion Plan, Pei Xuanjing believed he needed to lead by example to ensure relative fairness during the plan's advancement process and to reduce conflicts.
Like this action, in pioneering this world, Pei Xuanjing, as one of the first True Immortals to descend into this world, took the lead on several aspects of this world and gained numerous benefits, establishing an unimaginable advantage.
If Pei Xuanjing continued to participate in the ensuing plan, it would undoubtedly make the plan progress more smoothly, but it would result in him unquestionably becoming the core of the entire plan, with others serving merely as his backdrop.
All these changes would naturally occur, not by anyone's will, because, as the promoter and participant of the plan, Pei Xuanjing had already laid the groundwork for advantage, and upon the ultimate success, Pei Xuanjing would naturally gain enormous benefits.
This was not the outcome Pei Xuanjing wished to see.
It wasn't that Pei Xuanjing did not want these benefits, it's that he truly did not care about them.
Rather, compared to the returns from these benefits, it was the fundamental impacts underlying them and the potential troubles they could sow that Pei Xuanjing did not wish to see.
Indeed, with Pei Xuanjing's qualifications, there was no problem in him obtaining the greatest benefits from this pioneering of the world, and no one would question it.
However, it was undeniable that once Pei Xuanjing claimed the largest share of the benefits, the benefits available to other strong individuals would consequently diminish. They would inevitably be reduced to mere tools, attire made for the use of others.
In the advancement of the Heavenly Court's Expansion Plan, Pei Xuanjing, as the initiator and the strongest, held a significant part of the benefits, which all powerful individuals accepted and recognized.
But this acceptance and recognition were premised on equal cooperation among everyone, not everyone being mere adornments, working for Pei Xuanjing.
If so, for these powerful individuals, everything would be a loss. The discrepancy between their contributions to and their gains from the plan would be disproportionate. How then could they continue to steadfastly follow Pei Xuanjing in the world expansion plan?
It seemed like Pei Xuanjing had gained significant benefits this time, but in reality, he had thereby jeopardized the future of the expansion plan, which was unacceptable to Pei Xuanjing.
A single individual cannot drive the Heavenly Court's Expansion Plan forward, even with the support of the Shenxiao Sect's powerful individuals, as their efficiency could not compare to all of Divine Land World's powerful individuals united.
Is a temporary gain more important, or is long-term profit? Pei Xuanjing was clear on this distinction.
After all, while this time's gain was temporary, the Heavenly Court's Expansion Plan was long-term. As long as this plan continued to be implemented, Pei Xuanjing, as the initiator, the strongest in the Divine Land World, was inherently entitled to countless benefits.
Therefore, Pei Xuanjing decisively made a choice, forfeiting a portion of the readily available benefits to express his attitude and to establish rules that would prevent future generations from hoarding excessively, ensuring everyone got a share.
After all, with Pei Xuanjing's personal example, unless successors possessed greater strength and prestige than Pei Xuanjing and were willing to risk the wrath of many, they too would have to adhere to Pei Xuanjing's current measures, and could not monopolize benefits.
However, Pei Xuanjing's forfeiting these benefits did not mean that the many powerful individuals of the Shenxiao Lineage needed to give up this opportunity. Although they were under Pei Xuanjing's command and followed his orders, they were also independent entities, part of the Divine Land World, and no one could deprive them of their benefits.
