Chapter 1484: Chapters 1432-1433: Infighting in the Demon Realm Chapter 1484: Chapters 1432-1433: Infighting in the Demon Realm According to common reasoning, since the Heavenly Court had suffered such immense destruction and heavy losses, it should have been more inclined to summon more cultivators from the Mortal Realm to enter the Heavenly Court, allowing them to undergo celestial transformation into the Immortal Race, ensuring the orderly inheritance of the Immortal Race and stabilizing the power of the Heavenly Court.
However, these mighty beings of the Heavenly Court did not choose to immediately replenish their living forces. Instead, they stopped this practice abruptly, which inevitably had its reasons.
Part of the reason was that the Immortal Pond of the current Heavenly Court was damaged in the great war, unable to facilitate the transformation of cultivators into the Immortal Race in the short term. Another very important reason was that as for the cultivators of the present, who knew if they might be hidden agents planted by those from the Demon Realm.
It could be said that, for the time being, this world had temporarily formed an era disconnected from heaven and earth. With the power of Monarch Qingxu, even if he entered the Heavenly Court, he would be among the elite of the Immortal Race, and remaining in the Mortal Realm meant there was no one who could contend with him. Yet, even so, Monarch Qingxu continued to maintain his low profile as always.
When the Divine Land World was still unawakened, as one of the strongest Martial Arts Holy Lands of the Great Ming Empire, the True Martial Sect, joined by Bai Xiaosheng and other forces from the Taoist School, could actually do anything, even overturn the Great Ming Empire was not impossible.
But back then, as the topmost among martial artists, Monarch Qingxu did much more behind the scenes, supporting new proxies, having them take the lead, which was the beginning of Pei Xuanjing's rise.
Up to this day, since there had been a successful example in the past, for Monarch Qingxu, it was nothing more than replicating the process from the start.
Although this time he didn't have allies like Bai Xiaosheng and other Taoist forces, his strength was greater than ever before.
Over the years of regaining his power, Monarch Qingxu easily forged a force of his own, while maintaining its operations behind the scenes.
After mostly regaining his strength, like before, he began to look for suitable proxies to foster their rise, then, with their unexpected emergence, started to learn about this world.
Of course, these schemings need not be spoken about in such detail. If explained so bluntly, it would be senseless and diminish his image as a True Immortal. He simply conveyed some of the definite information he had received to Pang Hong.
But the fact that he chose not to reveal it did not mean that Pang Hong did not understand it. After all, Pang Hong had accompanied Pei Xuanjing to ascend Zhenwu Mountain and had stayed there for many years. Especially since his own master would not conceal anything from him, so Pang Hong had a crystal-clear understanding of these matters.
Therefore, his mentor's uncle need not hide his thoughts and plans, for he was not ignorant of them.
Not to mention this mentor's uncle, every True Immortal and Supreme Strong being in the current Divine Land World were millenniold foxes. Which of them was an easy opponent? Without their own master to suppress them, they would have fought among themselves long ago. Even with the master's suppression, the internal scheming and mutual trap-setting never ceased.
As for Pang Hong himself, even he was included in their calculations. Even though the original Pang Hong was not adept in such matters, once he assumed that position, carrying the entire future of the Shenxiao Sect and the cultivation resources craved by many Shen Xiao disciples, he had to engage in these actions.
Thus, he did not find these strategems repugnant at all, nor did he see any issues with them. On the contrary, he felt they were naturally the right things to do.
The only thing he worried about was whether his mentor's uncle's scheming was foolproof, whether it could truly avoid the kind of situation his own master had encountered.
After all, though Monarch Qingxu's plotting seemed very successful back then, after their retreat and with Pei Xuanjing's rise, they all benefited with him and achieved unimaginable success.
Although his master would not admit it, in the eyes of many other strong beings, his master was seen as the Heavenly Mandate's Son born to the Divine Land World after many years, carrying the Heavenly Mandate of the Divine Land World, hence the Qi Luck added, bringing success to everything he undertook, as if blessed by the gods.
Nevertheless, the birth of a Son of Heavenly Mandate in the Divine Land World was decidedly different from that in another world.
While they might seem similar, there's actually immense risk involved. At the very least, regardless of anything else, there was no conflict of interest between them and their master; both sides, after all, were beings of the same world.
But concerning that other world, Monarch Qingxu was, no matter how one looked at it, an outsider; their true pursuits were different. If it turned out that Monarch Qingxu discovered another Son of Destiny, whose side that person would take upon learning the true identity of Monarch Qingxu remained unknown.
If they continued to be on their side, naturally it would be good. But if the other side opposed the integration of the two worlds and stood in opposition, undoubtedly they would have crafted a formidable enemy with their own hands.
“So, I wonder, mentor's uncle, will the person you have chosen be willing to join us?” Pang Hong asked with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Monarch Qingxu's eyebrows raised, and meeting Pang Hong's gaze, he knew well what his disciple's nephew meant. He shook his head with a smile and said, “Why join us? As long as we have the same interests, we can cooperate. We do not necessarily need to insist that the other party agrees with our philosophy. Seeking common ground while respecting differences is sufficient, as long as their existence does not impact our interests. Whatever they want to do does not matter. And if they get in the way, since we can support them, we can also make them step aside.”
