Chapter 2148: Chapter 2094–2095: True Immortals Take the Field, Powerhouses Emerge One After Another
Unfortunately, even if he said these words, Wan Fayi did not think they would be useful.
Some matters are not spoken, but acted upon, and they follow an inevitability with the development of the situation.
Wan Fayi believed in the Ancestral Master and also trusted the two in front of him. They would not have different opinions because of the choices of the disciples.
But the series of reactions triggered by this choice is definitely not dominated by their will.
The Shenxiao Sect already had a lot of internal competition. These different choices, the former being conservative and stable, the latter being radical and risky.
However, as long as the latter returns successfully, their strength will inevitably advance further, and their status within the Shenxiao Sect will undoubtedly rise.
This is destined, unless the talent of the former reaches the extreme of being demonic, otherwise, they will not be able to compete against the latter.
However, even after contemplating for a long time, Wan Fayi realized that he had no way out. This kind of choice would inevitably lead to the results he foresaw unless everyone ended up making the same decision, either all staying behind closed doors or all going down the mountain.
But let’s not forget that the Ancestral Master had already said not to force anyone to make a particular choice. Even if he wanted everyone to make the same choice, that would be extremely difficult, if not impossible.
The disciples of the Shenxiao Sect were very united, but they couldn’t truly enforce orders completely. The stronger the cultivators became, the more they had their own will, and they would not easily change their minds.
It could be said that unless Pei Xuanjing, this Ancestral Master, or Pang Hong, this Sect Leader, actively made a request, this was destined not to happen.
Not to mention that Wan Fayi, who had not yet taken over, besides Pei Xuanjing and Pang Hong, anyone in the Shenxiao Sect could not accomplish it, not even Yu Zhenzi, this Shishu Ancestor, nor any other True Immortal Ancestors.
Since this couldn’t be achieved, the only thing Wan Fayi could do was let things take their course. He could only fully convey this information down and leave the decision to each of them to make.
Seeing Wan Fayi nod, Pang Hong and Yu Zhenzi’s eyes showed a subtle hint of appreciation, clearly satisfied that Wan Fayi did not question this matter.
Indeed, with their wisdom, how could they not see through these things?
But understanding something is one thing, and whether to do it is another.
They both knew that this was fraught with disadvantages, but this matter could not be done. From the perspective of the sect, the current choice of letting things take their course is the most suitable; otherwise, forcing anyone to do this, regardless of the choice, is unfair.
Even though the sect had nurtured them, there was no need to block their path to the Future. Every cultivator has their own path, and it should be for them to choose no matter what.
This was Pei Xuanjing’s style. He only provided some protection for the younger disciples, but ultimately, how they chose their own path, Pei Xuanjing never intervened, respecting their choices.
Now, it was the same, even if this choice might concern their destiny, but for these people, it was even more necessary.
Wan Fayi understood this matter, but he did not speak of it, which meant he understood the principle of the Shenxiao Sect; its existence was not for conquering All Heavens but more as a home for all its disciples, providing them shelter from the storm.
Having settled this matter, Yu Zhenzi asked another one, “How many True Immortals do we currently have?”
The number of True Immortals in the Shenxiao Sect, such a question, if heard by others, would be surprising, especially since the one inquiring was Yu Zhenzi, ranking as the third strong within the sect.
One ought to know, with his status, he had access to all the secrets of the Shenxiao Sect, and there was no information hidden from him.
Therefore, the internal number of True Immortals should have been something Yu Zhenzi was very clear about.
In fact, it was not unusual. His question was quite normal, not because he was unqualified to know these things, but due to special circumstances, he had been in secluded meditation for some time, so he wasn’t very informed about it.
If it were earlier, not even a short retreat, but even a centuries-long seclusion, it might not have changed the number of True Immortals in the Shenxiao Sect, because even in today’s flourishing era, achieving True Immortality is not easy; otherwise, countless strong cultivators wouldn’t have been stuck at the level of Supreme Overlord.
Even a top immortal sect like the Shenxiao Sect, with extensive resources, did not have enough to share among top Supreme Overlords, so most of the powerful could only seek resources by their own abilities.
The Shenxiao Sect could only offer these strong cultivators a relatively fair competitive environment and a guaranteed Divine Position—a way to extend their lifespan eventually if they couldn’t break through to True Immortality.
Such a situation was something many powerful individuals envied. After all, even in some large immortal sects, while obtaining a Divine Position might be easier, obtaining a suitable and compatible Divine Position was not simple.
