Chapter 1378: Chapter 1326-1327: Launch Simulation Chapter 1378: Chapter 1326-1327: Launch Simulation All beings in the Divine Land World, if they make contributions to the Heavenly Court's expansion plan, should receive their own share of benefits in return. This is one of the principles of the Heavenly Court, and no one may breach it.
Not even Pei Xuanjing could do so, nor could any of the many Imperial Honors or other True Immortals. They could not break this rule either.
This principle is the foundation upon which the Heavenly Court was established. Only by maintaining fairness can the cultivators of the Heavenly Court unite under a common, grand objective, forming a foundation of trust that enables them to band together.
If even these basic rules cannot be upheld, allowing the powerful to break them at will and lose mutual trust, then how could they cooperate?
Pei Xuanjing relinquished command of the new world and stepped aside, ceding a portion of the benefits that rightfully belonged to him. This was his stance, a declaration to the other powers.
However, this does not mean he intended to undermine the interests of the Shenxiao Sect disciples. Without sufficient reason, Pei Xuanjing could not ask the sect's disciples to make undue sacrifices for his benefit, even if these disciples didn't mind and were willing to sacrifice. But Pei Xuanjing would not allow this.
To him, he had inadvertently shouldered many things along his journey, assuming many identities. As of now, he was no longer alone; he had his own disciples and followers.
Even though Pei Xuanjing didn't really need them, they existed there, and Pei Xuanjing could not deny it. He basked in the disciples' reverence and admiration. So, at this time, Pei Xuanjing also had to protect their interests, an unavoidable duty of his own.
Therefore, even though Pei Xuanjing gave up some benefits, his choice would not impact the actions of these Shenxiao disciples. Perhaps because of his decision, other powers, out of respect for Pei Xuanjing, might even need to respond with favors, reciprocating in kind.
After all, although Pei Xuanjing's planning involved his own strategies, the interests he relinquished were real. As beneficiaries, the other powers needed to show their stance.
“With that said, disciple understands,” Pang Hong realized.
Pang Hong actually just needed a response from his master. No matter what it was, he needed a definite direction, not just for himself but also for the disciples of the Shenxiao Sect.
Pei Xuanjing believed that having enjoyed the veneration of the Shenxiao sect's disciples, he had the responsibility to protect their interests. But for these Shenxiao Sect disciples, they were basking in the glory of the Longevity Taoist Monarch.
The Longevity Taoist Monarch might exist without the Shenxiao Sect disciples, but the Shenxiao Sect disciples could not lose the Longevity Taoist Monarch. They walked with their heads held high by drawing on the glory of the Taoist Monarch, enjoying the beneficence he bestowed upon them.
As for the reverence and admiration, isn't that only to be expected? Shouldn't you feel grateful and offer the highest reverence and admiration to a great being who protects you?
Therefore, the messages relayed back by the Shenxiao Sect powers from the new world were not meant to interrogate or accuse; they merely wanted to know a direction, to understand the intention of the Taoist Monarch lest their own misinterpretations affect his plans.
While the benefits of the new world are indeed important, otherwise these individuals wouldn't venture forth so willingly, compared to the plans of the Taoist Monarch, they were actually willing to forgo momentary benefits.
Because the power of the Taoist Monarch in itself was a blessing, providing them with peace of mind.
Furthermore, the Taoist Monarch had never neglected these members of the Shenxiao Sect even once. Even if they had to give up some benefits this time, they were not truly worried that the Taoist Monarch would overlook their existence.
“Disciple understands. I will tell them to act with assurance and not overthink,” Pang Hong said with a smile to his master.
Now that everything was clear, there was no need to worry any further. They could completely reassure those people to boldly act and make attempts, gaining more experience for the future development of their own Shenxiao Sect in the new world.
“Tell them not to overthink. Let all go about their own duties, as long as they don't break the rules, betraying the initial agreements within the confines of the rules, all is being handled by I,” Pei Xuanjing said with a light chuckle, giving these individuals some confidence.
This time, his approach had indeed been somewhat negligent, so now he also needed to make some compensations, though these statements were only to be expected by Pei Xuanjing.
After some thought, Pei Xuanjing added, “When they return, you can arrange for them to each choose an item from the treasury of the Great Emperor of Longevity as a form of compensation from the Emperor of the South Pole Eternal Life.”
“Disciple thanks you on their behalf,” Pang Hong said with a smile.
The treasury of the Great Emperor of Longevity, established by Pei Xuanjing after he incarnated the Emperor of the South Pole Eternal Life within the Imperial Palace of the Heavenly Court, mainly housed treasures and rarities presented by the Star Lords.
After all, even though Pei Xuanjing's incarnation as the Emperor of the South Pole Eternal Life was still the ancestor of the Shenxiao Tao, he was also one of the Six Imperials, the Emperor of Longevity. Some of the Star Lords, officials under the Emperor of Longevity, came from the Shenxiao Sect, but not all hailed from the Shenxiao Sect.
Therefore, concerning the treasures and rarities presented by these individuals, Pei Xuanjing couldn't just store them in the Shenxiao Sect's treasury, so he built a separate treasury to house them.
