Chapter 1454: Chapter 1402 – Chapter 1403 Sun Divine Palace Chapter 1454: Chapter 1402 – Chapter 1403 Sun Divine Palace “Some things cannot be judged by common sense; ordinary rules simply do not apply to them. Just take the exchange items in the contribution system of the Taoist Academy, for example.
Some items, for Pei Xuanjing, had their contribution requirements set high intentionally to create a high threshold.
When setting this up, he expressed this attitude openly, without any concealment, because he believed the concepts they were based on–although devised by him–were immature.
There might be some drawbacks in these concepts, some hidden issues that even Pei Xuanjing himself could not detect, which are not suitable for the common Cultivator's practice.
After all, even if his recognition is immature, for ordinary cultivators, it has a significant influence. They cannot step out of and avoid the defects but are instead deeply entrapped by them.
Thus, what Pei Xuanjing did was to set a filter, allowing only those qualified to jointly deduce and discuss. Even so, despite the high price of these items, there are always people exchanging them for enlightenment, and it goes without saying who is acquiring these items beyond the reach of ordinary cultivators.
Moreover, with the wisdom of the Fate Controller, they are even clearer about why these True Immortals are paying attention this time.
For Pei Xuanjing himself, he felt that his cultivation philosophy could all be shared–only the more mature and flawless aspects would he actively promote without holding back any secrets.
The immature ones, based on rough assumptions and not yet perfected, would see Pei Xuanjing setting a threshold and then waiting for a mature moment to arise.
However, for other True Immortals, or many powerful beings in the Divine Land World, they did not share this understanding.
They had never experienced these things and could not guarantee that some might think that the best things are only excellent when held in their own hands, releasing only the lesser materials to others.
Using themselves as a measure, when facing the Longevity Taoist Monarch, they would think similarly and thus harbor thoughts of pursuing the handscroll.
To them, the circulation of this handscroll must have been an accident; the accumulated materials are most certainly not public, containing highly confidential information worth their attention.
“However, no matter what, everyone's attention is now captivated by the Emperor Monarch's handscroll, so no one should be paying attention to our affairs now, right?” Star Lord Due said with a smile.
Regardless of what ultimately attracted these people, it was undeniable that their focus had indeed shifted and would not dwell on them, providing them with ample time and space to strategize.
“We only have this one opportunity, we cannot afford any mistakes,” the Fate Controller Star Lord declared seriously.
Their chance was singular, and not to mention the copious effort they invested in the layout, they also had only one Emperor Monarch's handscroll, unable to produce another item commanding the attention of all powerhouses.
“Rest assured, success is certain this time!” Star Lord Due responded solemnly, a frenzy flickering in his eyes.
For this attempt, he had invested everything, with no other options to fall back on; even if this world's existence was merely an Incarnation, if he failed this time, he would no longer have the chance to catch up and would be utterly abandoned.
And what they were doing involved forbidden acts, an act of defiance against the dignity of a True Immortal.
If they succeeded, joy would be shared by all; but if they failed, even if his True Body lived on, he would certainly face the pressure of the True Immortals.
His gaze wandered into the distance where a towering and massive mountain stood, its peak soaring into the clouds, topped by a splendid glittering palace enveloped in clouds, seemingly built in the heavens.
That was where the Ancient Sun Emperor resided, in the Imperial Palace he constructed, known as the Sun Divine Palace.
For the Ancient Sun Emperor, there was no place safer in heaven and earth than his Sun Divine Palace, where he had arranged various safeguards to ensure his security, especially at times like these.
Initially in this Sun Divine Palace, two of his close friends stayed to protect him in anticipation of possible attacks.
However, with the emergence of the Emperor Monarch's handscroll, all the Great Ancient Emperors were drawn to it, and naturally, his two friends were no exception.
And, just as the Saint Lord of Wind and Thunder had no reason to prevent others from becoming stronger, faced with an immense opportunity, the Ancient Sun Emperor, despite myriad rationalizations, could not ask his friends to abandon their chances and guard him instead.
Nobody wishes to be subservient to others, to live in another's shadow, to be the vines entwined around a towering tree–such actions are merely the last resort of the helpless.
If possible, every powerhouse would prefer to stand between heaven and earth on their own strength, voice their own declarations, and author their own legacies.
Now the Ancient Sun Emperor has his own path, and the other Great Ancient Emperors also have theirs. Given they've seen the opportunity, the Ancient Sun Emperor has no right to hinder them; to do so might mean they could no longer even be friends.
Nevertheless, even with the departure of these Great Ancient Emperors, he held no worries, not to mention the appearance of the Emperor Monarch's handscroll had drawn everyone's attention, indirectly relieving much of the pressure on him.
