Chapter 1481: 1428 Chapter–1429 Chapter_2 Chapter 1481: 1428 Chapter–1429 Chapter_2 Therefore, when this exploration of this world occurred, Taoist Monarch Qingxu already had some ideas. In his view, this might be a good opportunity to repay some of the help from Longevity Taoist Monarch.
For this reason, he had made preparations early on. Even if he didn't take any fortuitous opportunities from this world, he would give them all to Longevity Taoist Monarch or to the Shenxiao Sect; as long as he could repay the debt.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have needed to invite the incarnation of Longevity Taoist Monarch to descend, giving the other party a reason to participate in this matter, aware of the existence of this world.
One should know that with his strength, plus the power of the True Martial Sect, they weren't weak. Even if there were True Immortals in this world, with the help of the Turtle and Snake Divine Generals, he might suppress them. There would be some losses indeed, but such losses would definitely be less than having to share them.
Unfortunately, that Taoist Monarch didn't care about these things at all. If it weren't for leaving some opportunities for Pang Hong at the end, his own plotting would have been a waste, not only failing to repay the debt but owing even more due to the other's descent.
Interactions between individuals and alliances between forces should involve give and take. If it's just one side giving, it's definitely not a long-term strategy. The other side will unconsciously become a subsidiary.
The transformation of the relationship between both sides doesn't shift with any party's will but is an inevitable transformation in the course of development.
To change this possibility, the only need is to do as much as possible to ensure reciprocity and not dependency, maintaining a relatively equal status.
If the True Martial Sect doesn't devise a way to quickly repay the debt, not to mention all the goodwill, at least they need to show an attitude, pay back part of it; otherwise, they would become a subsidiary to the Shenxiao Sect.
So, for the arrival of Pang Hong, not only did he feel no displeasure, but he also eagerly anticipated Pang Hong bringing what was to come.
“Since you have already arrived, nephew, you must have learned about this world from the Taoist Monarch?” Taoist Monarch Qingxu asked Pang Hong.
Pang Hong nodded and then said, “My master has already told me some details about this world, but his heart is not on mundane things, so the information I have might not be comprehensive; therefore, I hope you, Uncle-Master, could provide some more detailed information.”
Indeed, his master had given him a rough explanation of this world, but it was just as he said–a rough one. He didn't pay attention to more details.
And as he saw it, the level on which his master stood, and the level he himself stood on, just couldn't be compared at all.
Even in terms of the simplest layout, his own vision and plotting were far inferior to his master's.
Moreover, with his master's strength, when planning, he really could treat heaven and earth as a chessboard and all beings as chess pieces.
But if it were him, he simply couldn't achieve that. With his own strength, it was impossible to calculate everyone into his plans, because even if his plans had no issues, when a stronger opponent chose to break the situation with force, all his meticulous plans would be useless.
And it was the same for this world. In his master's view, that world posed no threat to him, nor was there anything worth his excessive caution.
But for him, it was different. He was still one step away from becoming a True Immortal. If it were in the Divine Land World, with the blessing of the Divine Position, even facing a True Immortal, he would be confident in combat.
However, in an unfamiliar world, even if he restored his peak combat strength in his incarnation, facing such a level of True Immortals, he might still need to avoid them temporarily.
This is inevitably the case; to vie for the chance of becoming a Tao-Certifying True Immortal, that particular world must first be able to accommodate a True Immortal. If there isn't even a True Immortal, then Taoist Monarch Qingxu has no need to fear, let alone invite his master to incarnate and descend.
Upon further thought, even True Monarch Qingxu finds it challenging and needs his own master's incarnation to descend. The world his master deemed suitable for honing oneself into a True Immortal certainly won't be simple.
Pang Hong could fully imagine that this particular world would have abundant fortuitous opportunities, but threats would inevitably be present as well.
Therefore, to be more thoroughly prepared, he naturally wanted to obtain more information to act more advantageously.
True Monarch Qingxu understood Pang Hong's intentions and nodded slightly, saying, “Since that's the case, let me as your teacher's nephew resolve your doubts, for this world was discovered by me. I believe, apart from the Taoist Monarch, no one understands this world better than I.”
In saying this, True Monarch Qingxu was actually being modest. As a True Immortal and the discoverer of the world, even Pei Xuanjing, who hadn't spent as much time in that world, only had a superficial understanding of it due to his nature.
After all, compared to the True Martial Sect, which aimed to extract as many benefits as possible from that world, for Pei Xuanjing, this world was merely a passing opportunity left for his disciple, not worth delving into.
Ever since the Heavenly Court's Expansion Plan began, all of the gods and True Immortals of the court released their incarnations to explore the Chaos Void in search of new worlds–True Martial Sect was no exception.
You should know that even though the rise of the True Martial Sect was recent, its many powerful members had ascended to Divine Positions during the War of Sealing Gods, and they were fully qualified to enter the Chaos Void to explore worlds.
In the exploration of Class B, World No. 1, as the True Martial Emperor and with the status of True Immortal, True Monarch Qingxu was qualified to follow Pei Xuanjing into that world.
However, True Monarch Qingxu did not stay too long in that world; he briefly explored it and then left.
After all, for True Monarch Qingxu, even though the world practiced Martial Arts, neither for the development of the entire True Martial Sect nor for his personal cultivation did it fully align.
The True Martial Sect was originally a Taoist School, and the initial cultivation in Martial Arts was only due to worldly constraints, forcing them to practice Martial Arts. But once they truly stepped into the Spirit Realm, the cultivation emphasis of True Martial Sect leaned more towards the Taoist Refining Qi, rather than Human Immortal Martial Arts.
Indeed, the practice of Human Immortal Martial Arts presented a better opportunity for many cultivators, making it more familiar to many previous disciples of True Martial Sect.
However, the path of Human Immortal Martial Arts is not easy to navigate, nor is every cultivator qualified to pursue it to the utmost.
Biting off more than you can chew is not always better, nor is practicing multiple disciplines. It is best to work within one's capacity and choose the path most suited to oneself. Otherwise, having too large a target which cannot be achieved will only lead to a waste of time, resulting in gaining nothing.
Even now, for True Monarch Qingxu as a True Immortal with a long life, the least valuable thing to him is time, and with ample opportunities to err, he could also cultivate the Five Paths of Earth, Heaven, Human, Gods, and Spirits. Even if he failed, it would have no impact.
But in practice, True Monarch Qingxu would not allow such reckless waste of his time and would make some strategic choices on his cultivation path.
Just as now, his most important task was transforming True Martial Cave Heaven into True Martial Realm to complete his Earth Immortal Path, which was the best choice.
Even if the laws of Martial Arts of this world, if studied carefully, might greatly aid Human Immortal Martial Arts, he only paid it brief attention and did not truly invest much effort.
