Chapter 1183 - 1283: There Are Always More Good People Than Bad

Moreover, Ye Tianfan would not become a primary target for other sects because of the Chaos Divine Pearl, since the role of the Chaos Treasure Lotus is even greater than that of the Chaos Divine Pearl.

And it's not because Ye Tianfan has a saintly nature, but because far too many lives are involved.

If Ye Tianfan didn't reveal his Chaos Divine Pearl, insisting that these stubborn people venture outside the walls, then they would absolutely perish beyond the walls.

Even though Ye Tianfan doesn't fully trust people's hearts, he feels pity considering so many lives are at stake, especially with two to three thousand individuals remaining.

If these two to three thousand individuals were to die in front of Ye Tianfan, it would be difficult for him to remain unmoved, as the sheer number is overwhelming. Even an ordinary person would be moved seeing so many deaths before them.

This isn't about having a saintly nature, but a normal human reaction. Some might claim that they wouldn't flinch if ten thousand people died before them, but when it actually happens, they would surely feel fear. If there was a way to save those ten thousand, they would fight desperately to do so.

Thinking about this, Ye Tianfan looked resolutely at the True Master of Taichu Sect, nodded heavily, and said, "I believe that people's hearts can be trusted. I am willing to reveal the existence of the Chaos Divine Pearl to help everyone survive beyond the walls. This is not just for myself, but also for the Taichu Sect. The more we contribute now, the more resources we'll be allocated later, significantly enhancing our sect's overall strength, allowing the Sect Leader to reach the Taichu realm earlier."

The True Master of Taichu Sect was quite pleased upon hearing Ye Tianfan's words, but when he heard Ye Tianfan hope that he would soon reach the Taichu realm, he felt somewhat desolate inside, knowing that he had no chance of achieving the Taichu realm due to foundational damage, making it nearly impossible.

Furthermore, at this moment, the True Master of Taichu Sect was considering sacrificing himself to gain better opportunities for Taichu Sect. So he felt both sad and gratified upon hearing Ye Tianfan's words, knowing that Ye Tianfan still hoped he would achieve the Taichu realm, indicating that Ye Tianfan cares for his elders. Hence, the True Master felt that choosing Ye Tianfan as the successor of Taichu Sect was a wise decision, knowing that he would care for all the disciples and entrusting the sect to a person like him gave the True Master much confidence.

If Ye Tianfan were indifferent to every elder, the True Master would question whether he made the right choice appointing Ye Tianfan as the next successor.

After all, if someone only cares for themselves and not for fellow sect members, no matter how strong they are, they are only fit to be an Elder, a threat with martial strength, not a qualified Sect Leader. A Sect Leader may not always be the strongest but is always someone recognized by all of the sect.

So it's not about having the highest strength to become a Sect Leader but earning the respect and recognition from everyone in the sect to take on the role, leading all the disciples towards collective progress, rather than merely relying on strength without proper management, leading the sect into chaos.

The True Master of Taichu Sect wanted to tell Ye Tianfan the truth but hesitated, unsure how Ye Tianfan would react. The True Master felt that it was too early to reveal that he could no longer achieve the Taichu realm, and his remaining now was to sacrifice himself for Taichu Sect. If Ye Tianfan found out that his foundation was damaged, he would certainly try every means to find precious treasures to heal it. A damaged foundation is like a skyscraper with a weakened base — if the base is compromised, the building can't be built higher, as extending the skyscraper would cause it to collapse instantly.

Even if the skyscraper remains for some time with a damaged foundation, it will slowly deteriorate until it collapses. The True Master's situation is like this building.

Feeling somewhat comforted, the True Master looked at Ye Tianfan and said, "You have thought deeply about this, which is not easy. You are a kind-hearted child. Exposing the Chaos Divine Pearl does carry risks, but it also presents an opportunity to foster goodwill among all people. Although you may face individuals who won't be grateful upon returning inside the walls, as they only seek personal gain, and the Chaos Divine Pearl is precisely such a gain. So you must be cautious. While outside the walls, they won't rush to act, nor immediately upon returning within, for the outside resources will keep them occupied for some time. The real danger emerges after they've processed the outside resources and start venturing out for further breakthroughs or exercises. At this time, many will be outside, and if you venture out during this period, there's a great chance of getting ambushed by evildoers. If during that period you remain at Taichu Sect and avoid venturing out, you'll evade that wave of danger. But evading that wave doesn't mean you'll never encounter trouble; it just means there will be fewer villains post-wave. Whenever possible, try avoiding that period."

After hearing the True Master's words, Ye Tianfan smiled and nodded, believing that since he decided to expose the Chaos Deep Pearl's existence, he must prepare to face the upcoming perils. Ye Tianfan felt confident that he would not be entirely vulnerable, as his strength was considerable; if confronted with danger, he could evade rather than confront.

Ye Tianfan smiled at the True Master and said, "Sect Leader, I still believe good people outweigh the bad ones. Even if some villains plan to attack me, I trust I can handle it without easily falling into traps, as my strength is formidable."

Upon hearing Ye Tianfan's words, the True Master nodding his head in agreement.
