Chapter 1491: Chapter 1438-1439_2 Chapter 1491: Chapter 1438-1439_2 Although the worlds discovered so far were weaker compared to the Divine Land World, they still believed it was mere luck and absolutely wouldn't believe there weren't any worlds stronger than theirs.
And if one day they encountered a world that was stronger or equally strong, participating in the same expansion plan as the Divine Land World, intending to use other worlds as fodder for their own development, what would happen?
Therefore, Pang Hong believed it was essential to obtain the Heavenly Rules, which could not only solve their current problems but also be used to maintain their current regime and prevent potential threats.
Since they could infiltrate those other worlds, it was possible that more powerful enemies might infiltrate the Divine Land in the future.
With the existence of the Heavenly Rules, they could serve as a warning line to prevent any accidents and respond to sudden attacks.
“This is indeed a good thing. If it falls into our hands, we can bring out even greater value,” Monarch Qingxu nodded in agreement, even suggesting that he had thought of this as well.
Standing from the position of the Sect Leader of the True Martial Sect, the strengthening of the Heavenly Court didn't actually seem favorable to them and could impose more restrictions on the True Martial Sect.
But sometimes, even though it might damage some of the True Martial Sect's interests, it would greatly benefit the overall development of the Divine Land World, which was completely acceptable.
Moreover, he also held the title of the Heavenly Court Emperor. The strengthening of the Heavenly Court and the power of the Divine Land World could also bring corresponding rewards to him, which was also a good choice.
Thus, Monarch Qingxu didn't reject but happily agreed to this matter.
“You now know the information about this world, nephew. I'm sure you already have your own plans. You only need to instruct the disciples of the True Martial Sect for what you need next,” Monarch Qingxu said to Pang Hong.
Tao-Certifying True Immortal, no matter how much help others provide, ultimately one must practice it by oneself, because no one understands oneself better, especially such strong individuals.
For Tao-Certifying True Immortal, besides the perfection of Essence, Qi, and Spirit, it's also a journey of introspection for cultivators. They must face their innermost feelings and seek what their hearts truly desire.
If the condensation of the Taoist Foundation in the Seventh Layer Heaven of the Spirit Realm is to solidify one's foundation and clarify one's direction of cultivation, then the Eighth and Ninth Layer Heaven of the Spirit Realm is about letting one's foundation take root and grow continuously, striving to bear the unique Taoist Fruit.
The path of the True Immortal is the Taoist Fruit sought by cultivators–it's the essence of what the True Immortal has cultivated, and it is also the proof of the True Immortal's immortality.
As long as the Taoist Fruit exists, no matter how severe the injuries or even if encountered with a demise, one can return through the Taoist Fruit.
Each True Immortal's Taoist Fruit is different, a unique existence, even if they come from the same sect, taught by the same master, following the same skill and Laws and Great Dao.
This is truly the core essence of a True Immortal, which absolutely must not be mistaken nor can it be achieved with the help of others. A Taoist Fruit achieved with the assistance of others is imperfect, flawed, and has no connection to the Great Dao.
Pang Hong wished to advance further in Tao-Certifying as a True Immortal and wanted to condense his own Taoist Fruit. Hence, in the followings events, Monarch Qingxu could provide help, but the more important and crucial tasks must be accomplished by himself.
Otherwise, during his condensation of the Taoist Fruit, even if Monarch Qingxu might withdraw his influence, it was inevitable due to his own characteristics as a True Immortal that it would affect Pang Hong, a result neither party would wish to see.
Therefore, what he needed to do was to let Pang Hong decide everything, no matter what the latter did, he wouldn't interfere, just getting well-prepared to ensure everything was secure at the end.
Of course, perhaps even preparing for the worst might not be necessary, for given Pang Hong's own strength and foundation, since he had arrived in this world, he must have already made ample preparations and had his own trump cards.
“Then I thank you greatly, Elder.” Pang Hong said with a smile, nodding.
What Monarch Qingxu had said was exactly what Pang Hong was thinking; he had never intended to rely on others to become a Tao-Certifying True Immortal. This was not what he needed, and his pride would not allow it. Such a True Immortal, he would rather not have.
For Pang Hong, his identity dictated that if he wanted to become a Tao-Certifying True Immortal, he must rely on himself. He was the only disciple of the Longevity Taoist Monarch, Pei Xuanjing, and every action he took represented his master's dignity.
If he really wanted to rely on external forces, then why should he spend so much effort? He might as well just ask his master to take action directly.
“Then I foresee, nephew, that you will achieve great success soon, and when we meet again, you will have successfully proved the Dao,” Monarch Qingxu nodded, seeing the determination in the other's eyes.
He also understood the burdens that Pang Hong carried, burdens that even his master, the Longevity Taoist Monarch, had never intended for him to bear. Yet, they were unconsciously taken up by Pang Hong.
But for Pang Hong, having reached this stage, it absolutely didn't represent just himself anymore–he couldn't help but shoulder these burdens, unable to let them go.
Watching Pang Hong before him, Monarch Qingxu couldn't help but recall his own past, the manner in which he had taken over as the Sect Leader of the True Martial Sect, and the subsequent major changes in heaven and earth, the arrival of the Great World, when he could only lead the entire True Martial Sect to drift along with the tide, striving for a place in the Great World.
Pang Hong's current situation was somewhat better than his own back then, at least having someone to look out for him. However, this support also cast a larger shadow, as it always enveloped Pang Hong, making him unconsciously chase after Pei Xuanjing.
Having a goal is good, but if the goal is too distant, too grand, then for those who follow, it represents a tremendous pressure, because that feeling of never being able to catch up, no matter how hard one tries, can be suffocating and lead to self-doubt.
Seeing his own former self in Pang Hong, Monarch Qingxu could only wish him good luck. If Pang Hong could endure this phase and one day break the mental shackles within himself, then surely he would rise to even greater heights, perhaps even catching up to his master.
Pang Hong had no idea that in this instant, Monarch Qingxu had thought so much. He did not see himself in the way Monarch Qingxu did–he only knew that since he had reached this day because of his master, then all he was doing was what he ought to do.
He wasn't as grand as Monarch Qingxu thought, nor did he have such great ambitions. All he desired was not to disappoint his master and to contribute his modest efforts for his master, and that was all.
“Then I hope the lucky words of Elder can help,” Pang Hong said lightly with a laugh, as he turned and left, not lingering any further.
Everyone has their own path. The fact that Monarch Qingxu could share so much information was already enough, especially considering it was out of respect for his master.
After all, this world was discovered by Monarch Qingxu. Although other beings from the Divine Land World were also eligible to explore it, they too had to rely on themselves. Getting any information from Monarch Qingxu depended wholly on his mood.
Pang Hong left the residence of the True Martial Sect in this world. He was not in a hurry to raise his banner, recruit followers, and start implementing his plan.
The knowledge gained from books is shallow; although he had acquired quite a bit of information, these were not something he had witnessed in person, so he still needed to verify them in order to continuously perfect his plan and ensure it could truly be executed.
For him, this time he could only succeed, absolutely could not fail, for should he fail, he might never find such a good opportunity again.
Thus, Pang Hong delved deeper into this world, beginning his journey to become a Tao-Certifying True Immortal.
