Chapter 1543: Chapters 1490-1491 Ready-made Opportunity_2 Chapter 1543: Chapters 1490-1491 Ready-made Opportunity_2 Shenxiao Sect was established single-handedly by him, although he was very happy and proud of the large conglomerate it had become today.
But Pei Xuanjing would not immerse himself completely in the past, nor would he be wary because of it. If necessary, he wouldn't mind starting over, and he didn't hesitate to give up the current phase, and he certainly didn't lack the courage to start anew.
It was much like those emperors who had founded nations with their own hands, never worrying about any rebellion, because they had their own confidence that they could easily quell any.
“As for the disciples' interests being compromised, that's simple; if that day really comes, just distribute the accumulated resources within the sect for their cultivation. After all, wasn't that the purpose of gathering these resources in the first place?”
Pei Xuanjing spoke nonchalantly, without a trace of worry on this matter.
The accumulated resources were to cope with sudden needs, to have a trump card when necessary, otherwise what was the point of having these things.
Pei Xuanjing was never a miser, nor was he the type to know it was time to use his reserves yet still be reluctant to do so.
The resources accumulated over ten thousand years in Shenxiao Sect were intended as stabilizing assets, to ensure that the disciples of Shenxiao Sect would not have any worries during certain times.
If, as Pei Xuanjing had predicted, the Divine Land World fell into unrest from its former tranquility, and the disciples of Shenxiao Sect could no longer obtain sufficient resources, they would naturally take out these originally accumulated reserves and distribute them among the disciples.
“What the Master said is true.” Pang Hong nodded, his concern had momentarily clouded his judgment.
As one who had also pushed the development of Shenxiao Sect to its current stage alongside Pei Xuanjing, he too possessed the courage to start over, even if it meant losing everything.
As for those resources, Pang Hong didn't regard them highly, as they meant nothing to him, and besides, those resources were earned through the hard work of all the disciples of Shenxiao Sect.
Had he not been sitting in the position of Sect Leader in Shenxiao Sect, aware that these were the fundamental assets of the sect that needed to be preserved, he wouldn't have initially asked the disciples to contribute a portion, but rather would have completely bestowed it upon them.
Thus, if that day really came when the sect's disciples were short of resources, he would definitely not hesitate to distribute those things again.
“Don't feel such heavy pressure; this is merely the worst possibility, and at least for now, the Jade Emperor hasn't obtained the Great Law Decree Technique, and things haven't yet deteriorated beyond repair.” Pei Xuanjing looked at Yu Zhenzi's solemn expression and shook his head gently, indicating that he needn't carry such a heavy burden because of this.
He could clearly see that this plan had not been completed to perfection, and Yu Zhenzi also felt a significant burden, especially since he had made a solemn promise to Pang Hong at the beginning; now with a slip, how could he not feel somewhat apologetic, even though Pang Hong did not mind.
However, Pei Xuanjing felt that the other party was thinking too much. Even though the situation he had described previously was indeed unfavorable, it was only the worst-case scenario, based on the situation where the Jade Emperor obtained the Great Law Decree Technique, and no powers or strong forces could suppress it, and he himself was unwilling to intervene.
Yu Zhenzi immediately realized the truth, his eyes gleamed as he said gravely, “Then the urgent task at hand is to dispatch someone to stop the Jade Emperor from obtaining the Great Law Decree Technique by all means. As long as the Jade Emperor is stopped, everything can be resolved, at least there shouldn't be any problems for a short period.”
He also understood, regardless of how chaotic the scenario described by the Taoist Monarch was, but since the trigger originated from the Jade Emperor, stopping him meant there was a great chance to dissolve the worst-case scenario.
And his gaze swept over Pei Xuanjing, thinking to himself:
Moreover, the Taoist Monarch, in outlining these worst scenarios for us, had deliberately or inadvertently overlooked his own influence, without revealing what role he himself would play in this.
Actually, if the Taoist Monarch truly wanted to intervene, let alone the Jade Emperor not having obtained the Great Law Decree Technique, even if the Jade Emperor had obtained it, he couldn't defy the will of the Taoist Monarch.
As for the turmoil in the world and the restlessness among various powers, all these were based on the Taoist Monarch's unwillingness to intervene.
Originally, the Taoist Monarch had single-handedly pushed forward the Heavenly Court Expansion Plan. Even after ten thousand years had passed, and various forces harbored different thoughts, they still needed to consider the Taoist Monarch's intentions.
In the face of absolute power, all plots and schemes were meaningless.
The strength of the Longevity Taoist Monarch suppressed an era; it could even be said that human sentiments were insufficient to contend against it.
Others might not understand the power of the Taoist Monarch, but those who often interacted with him were certainly clear about his immense strength.
Already striving for the authority of the Saint Position, the Longevity Taoist Monarch had reached the end of the True Immortal Realm, achieving the state where his heart was the heart of the heavens, and his will was the will of the heavens.
As long as he was unwilling, then no matter how many forces opposed him, it would be of no effect.
Thus, at least until they received the consent of the Taoist Monarch, or say, a clear stance from him, all parties would inevitably harbor caution in their hearts, absolutely not daring to act recklessly. They would also invariably hold some fear, unwilling to easily be the ones to step forward.
Thinking about it this way, the situation was actually not as dire as they believed, and there was still a strong possibility of maintaining it.
“Since you are preparing to retire from the Sect Leader position, do you have any thoughts about how your successor will be chosen?” Pei Xuanjing neither affirmed nor denied Yu Zhenzi's words but instead turned his gaze toward Pang Hong.
He did not reject Pang Hong's idea of resigning from the Sect Leader position but instead saw it as natural.
However, since he wanted to ensure peace, he also needed to choose an appropriate candidate. He absolutely could not allow it to ruin the reputation of the Shenxiao Sect or affect its development. Hence, this selection was very important.
“At the moment, I have only narrowed down some candidates, but how to select them specifically has not yet been determined. I am just thinking of holding a trial to see who stands out,” Pang Hong honestly expressed his thoughts.
He was, in fact, somewhat indecisive about the change of the Sect Leader in the Shenxiao Sect. It wasn't because there wasn't a suitable candidate, but on the contrary, there were too many outstanding talents. Just looking around, there were at least too many appropriate candidates, making it difficult for him to decide who to choose.
Over ten thousand years, as what could almost be called the premier immortal sect of the Divine Land World, the Shenxiao Sect had attracted countless geniuses. Among these many talents, those who emerged and stood out were especially prominent. These individuals were qualified to compete for the Sect Leader position in any immortal sect.
Thus, after making a selection this time, Pang Hong could only roughly categorize them but was unable to directly promote someone to the position.
Even though he had unmatched prestige within the Shenxiao Sect, this matter was crucial. Except for his master, even he could not appoint a candidate without facing criticism.
So, Pang Hong's own idea was to narrow down a general list of candidates and then find a method of trial to test these individuals, selecting an outstanding person. He did not seek someone who could suppress everything, but at least this person should be able to command respect.
“A test? Isn't there a very suitable test right now?” Pei Xuanjing said with a light laugh.
