Chapter 1546: Chapters 1494-1495 The Wind Rises at the Taoist Academy Chapter 1546: Chapters 1494-1495 The Wind Rises at the Taoist Academy “Why not help the other party?” Pei Xuanjing rebutted, “Do you think the Jade Emperor was naturally meant to sit in that position as a puppet without the qualifications to change the situation?”
Pang Hong's expression faltered, looking at his own disciple's astonished face. Pei Xuanjing continued, “Nothing is immutable, nor is anyone fated to do something. If the other party has the strength and qualifications, why can't they be entitled to rise even higher, and why shouldn't I support them?”
“If everything were immutable, and the powerful couldn't obtain a status that matched their abilities, then for us, I should still be the Taoist from that small town in the Border County, and you, in Tiandu City, facing uncertainty daily. How could we then stand here!”
“Disciple is wrong!” Pang Hong hurriedly apologized to Pei Xuanjing.
Pei Xuanjing didn't dwell on the matter and simply told him to go find the Jade Emperor and make this situation clear.
After Pang Hong and Yu Zhenzi left, they first circulated the matter within the Shenxiao Sect and then began to send out their disciples and personally visited several immortal sects, while also spreading the news through the Taoist Academy.
Taoist Academy!
This institution, established by the Longevity Taoist Monarch, was initially scoffed at by all. But as time passed and the Academy grew in strength and size, it became unstoppable, and no one could suppress it nor wished to offend the Longevity Taoist Monarch for it.
After tens of thousands of years, the Taoist Academy had grown to an unimaginable extent, not inferior to any immortal sects and even surpassing some.
Apart from the protection and care offered by the Longevity Taoist Monarch, this was also because the Academy operated under a much looser framework than many sects.
The original purpose of founding the Academy was to offer all beings a chance at Cultivation, and for many Cultivators, an opportunity to seek answers to their questions and advance further.
Apart from providing certain subsidies to novice Cultivators, anything else the Cultivators wished to acquire within the Academy had to be exchanged for with Contribution Points, a very fair transactional relationship with no need to bind with sentiments or constraints.
Although it seemed somewhat impersonal, for many powerful beings, it was quite in line with their values. For many Independent Practitioners and lone powerhouses, while they sought answers in Cultivation, they were reluctant to be indebted or obliged to others, making the Academy an excellent option without question.
Thus, this model of the Academy had also received recognition from many powerful beings, lacking such a platform and opportunities. Now, the emergence of the Academy undoubtedly filled a gap in their Cultivation journey and provided substantial assistance.
Even though it was Pei Xuanjing who had established the Academy and had initially invested substantial time and resources, the returns the Academy provided, once it was on track, utterly surpassed his initial input.
Pei Xuanjing played merely a protective role, while it was the support of these powerful beings that propelled the Academy's growth; their demand for this exchange platform continued to bolster the Academy.
And not only Independent Practitioners benefited, but many immortal sects also found the Academy to be highly beneficial.
As with every power wishing to cultivate disciples, resources were inevitably spent without a guarantee of excellence. Though the Academy offered only basic cultivation at the start, despite also offering higher levels of training, it spread its resources too thin to commit to everyone and didn't restrict the disciples' freedom to leave, presenting these sects with an option. They could leverage the Academy to train some of their disciples and then select the best ones for more focused cultivation. Even if occasionally they misjudged, the efficiency was now many times greater than before.
Hence, these immortal sect powers started to cooperate with the Academy proactively, some even sending disciples that would have entered their outer sects into the Academy for targeted training, at the cost of only some resources.
It was fair to say that, with time, the Academy had gradually evolved into Divine Land World's talent cultivation hub, providing all forces with exceptional disciples.
This meant the Academy's existence was like transfusing blood to the many forces in the Divine Land World, garnering support from all sides as long as it remained unchanged.
Of course, the magnificent scale of the Academy's development was not solely due to the domestic powerhouses and beings within the Divine Land World, but also because it took advantage of the momentum from the Heavenly Court's Expansion Plan.
With new worlds being discovered and integrated into the Divine Land World, innumerable beings joined.
In other worlds, some powerhouses might be able to teach a few how to Cultivate, but no one could do what Pei Xuanjing did: completely break the existing hierarchical barriers and open the doors to Cultivation for everyone.
They lacked the sufficient resources, the influence, let alone the overwhelming power to suppress everything.
