Chapter 1567: Chapters 1504-1515 True Monarch Qingyang Does His Best_2 Chapter 1567: Chapters 1504-1515 True Monarch Qingyang Does His Best_2 Every cultivator, regardless of their origins, must develop their own independent thinking skills when their cultivation reaches a certain level; otherwise, they are utterly unqualified to ascend to the status of a True Immortal.
What is a True Immortal, after all? A True Immortal transcends the ordinary and transforms life itself. If a being lacks the ability to think independently, to make decisions, how can they ascend to True Immortality, and how can they possibly transform? Even if they possessed the power of a True Immortal, they would not tread far on the path of the True Immortals, and might not even deserve the title.
Therefore, for Zhao Baiyang at this moment, he would not interfere with these people's trials. They needed to weigh their options on their own, to act according to their character, capabilities, and desires.
Becoming a True Immortal is a personal endeavor; no one can help them. They have to decide everything for themselves and bear the consequences of success or failure.
“Disciples, obey orders!” Yu Yiyao and others nodded in agreement.
“You all want to make your own choices, don't you? Don't think that just because you are disciples of the Taoist Academy, the Taoist Monarch will favor you. In this trial, status is irrelevant; everyone relies on their own strength and luck. If you are outperformed, you cannot blame others,” True Monarch Qingyang cautioned the many supremely strong of the Taoist Academy.
True Monarch Qingyang, was none other than the former Vice President of the Great Ming Empire's Martial Academy, the junior brother of Taoist Monarch Qingxu of the True Martial Sect, Qingyang Zi.
If it is said that many people in this world progress in their cultivation because of luck, encountering benefactors that lift them to the skies, then certainly, besides Yu Zhenzi, True Monarch Qingyang is such an individual without a doubt.
Even among those who knew of his rise, the envy and jealousy toward him were stronger than that for Yu Zhenzi.
Yu Zhenzi, after all, belongs to the Shenxiao Lineage and was one of the first subordinates of the Longevity Taoist Monarch, having deep gratitude for his tutelage from Pang Hong and making remarkable contributions to the rise of the Shenxiao Sect, achieved through countless life-and-death experiences.
But True Monarch Qingyang was different; indeed, he was simply lucky.
Originally, when the Longevity Taoist Monarch first emerged, entering the Martial Academy of the Great Ming Empire, it was because Qingyang Zi was the Vice President and de facto leader of the academy that the two of them crossed paths.
Later on, due to the alliance between the Longevity Taoist Monarch and the True Martial Sect, he served as the bridge for communication between both parties, and thus became the Vice President of the Taoist Academy when the Longevity Taoist Monarch established it.
With the rise of the Longevity Taoist Monarch, the influence of the Taoist Academy continuously expanded, and the status of the Vice President of the Academy grew increasingly significant.
So, even if at first he had taken the position of Vice President of the Taoist Academy because of some internal issues within the True Martial Sect, not willing to vie for power with the old masters and forced to step aside temporarily from the Sect's turmoil, this became his first step toward soaring success. Over the course of ten thousand years, he naturally and logically certified his Tao as a True Immortal, and not just any True Immortal but an extremely powerful one, even among many others.
Thus, every cultivator who knew of him envied his experience. Compared to the fierce struggle others faced to certify their Tao as True Immortals, he, sitting as the Vice President of the Taoist Academy, seemed to have all the resources at his disposal.
Moreover, since the Longevity Taoist Monarch did not concern himself with worldly affairs and paid little attention to material things, let alone caring much for the internal affairs of the Shenxiao Sect, why would he concern himself with the Taoist Academy?
Even if he held the nominal title of President of the Academy, in practice, all matters big and small of the Academy were managed by True Monarch Qingyang.
Were it not for the Taoist Academy's founding purpose and pursuits being different from other immortal sects, the authority wielded by this Vice President would be second to none compared to those of the leaders of the major immortal sects.
Even though his authority wasn't comparable to those people, the Taoist Academy had opened its doors widely to all cultivators, offering them great convenience. Many cultivators, considering themselves to have a relationship with the Academy, addressed the Longevity Taoist Monarch with ancestral reverence, treating True Monarch Qingyang with the respect due to a senior mentor.
Over the years, although True Monarch Qingyang still maintained close ties with the True Martial Sect, he had never held any official position within the Sect. Instead, he spent most of his time at the Taoist Academy, partly because this was where he could best apply his talents and mostly because he served as a vital link between the True Martial Sect and Longevity Taoist Monarch.
Indeed, even a single powerful True Immortal was a significant boon to the True Martial Sect, bolstering its strength considerably. With an additional powerful True Immortal at the helm, they could occupy more territories, secure more resources, and cultivate more disciples.
Yet, all these benefits paled in comparison to the connection with Longevity Taoist Monarch.
The value of friendship and connection with one of the strongest beings in the world was almost indescribable, utterly beyond imagination.
Not just for the True Martial Sect, but for many top immortal sects too, this kind of opportunity would be embraced at the cost of a True Immortal if necessary. Such chances were fervently sought after by others but rarely attained.
True Monarch Qingyang truly excelled in his role. Sitting as the deputy head of the Academy, the Academy's glorious achievements today were due not only to the influence brought about by Pei Xuanjing's strength and the Academy's platform meeting the needs of all cultivators but also to True Monarch Qingyang's dedicated management.
After all, both Pei Xuanjing's influence and the Academy's necessity were at the macro-strategic level, involving relevant tactical execution.
Good macro strategies can fail due to poor tactical execution, causing the entire plan to collapse; such occurrences are not unheard of.
Therefore, nobody could deny True Monarch Qingyang's capabilities. He might have depended on others in his cultivation, but his management of the Academy was excellent, and Longevity Taoist Monarch Pei Xuanjing was very satisfied with him.
Thus, although True Monarch Qingyang's strength might not be considered top-tier, and he was still quite a distance away from the True Immortal Taoist Monarchs, his reputation was significant throughout the Divine Land World, even in the Chaos Void Myriad Heavens World, because of the Academy and its disciples.
A being like True Monarch Qingyang, whose personal strength might be overlooked, had an incomparable influence. Even Taoist Monarchs could not afford to underestimate his network of connections.
At this moment, although these supreme strong figures of the Academy might be proud and unrivaled elsewhere, they all listened to True Monarch Qingyang's words with genuine respect.
Such respect was not feigned but came from the heart. It was also not merely due to his strength or status but because many among them had grown up within the Academy. When they had joined, True Monarch Qingyang was already the deputy head; he had taught them and sheltered them on their path of cultivation.
“I do not covet for each of you to reach the pinnacle; I only hope for your safe return. The path of cultivation is long; do not be hasty, there will be other opportunities,” True Monarch Qingyang admonished them.
All his disciples, how could he not care for them? He had watched them grow. He was familiar with each one, understanding them deeply.
Like a parent with their child, he did not covet greatness or grand achievements for them; he only wished for their safety in life, which was his greatest desire.
This trial might not result in actual death, but a fall would still cause severe damage to one's primordial qi, necessitating an unknown amount of time for recovery.
However, Qingyang Zi understood that this was merely a consolation. At this stage in their cultivation, especially for those qualified to glimpse the Immortal Path, who among them would be willing to give up halfway?
