Chapter 1191 - 1291: Can Only Accept by Default

"The third requirement is, no matter what you see or feel outside the wall, don't act on it. Follow the decisions of the main group. No matter what you want to do, do not act outside the wall, because outside the wall, if you do something different, it will affect all of us, not just you alone. So, no matter what, if you want to do something, you can go back inside the wall and do it, but not outside, as you will never succeed outside." Taichu Zhenren said forcefully.

In fact, Taichu Zhenren raised this matter as a third requirement because he was afraid that someone might act impulsively outside the wall. By saying this, he was indirectly admitting that they could attempt to seize the Chaos Divine Pearl from Ye Tianfan.

Because Taichu Zhenren knew that even if he forbade everyone from seizing the Chaos Divine Pearl from Ye Tianfan, someone would still take action. Rather than waiting for others to act, it's better to speak out here and advise them not to act too early.

Taichu Zhenren had already compromised on this behavior. He knew it was human nature, and he couldn't resolve this matter, so he could only entrust them to restrain from acting hastily. Besides, once they return inside the wall, as long as Ye Tianfan doesn't go out for training, they can basically ensure safety.

Moreover, even if Ye Tianfan goes out for training, with Ye Tianfan's strength at that time, he should be able to handle it. Even if he can't handle it, he would be able to escape.

After all, Taichu Zhenren didn't believe that Ye Tianfan wouldn't make any progress during the time from returning from outside the wall. With Ye Tianfan's talent, as long as he endures a few battles outside the wall, his strength will rapidly increase.

In the past, Ye Tianfan's increase in strength was also due to participating in various battles, which is why his strength grew so much. After all, whether it was Ye Tianfan or others, just by experiencing life-and-death battles, their strength would increase significantly; the difference is in how much or how little it increases.

For someone with Ye Tianfan's talent, his strength would definitely increase a lot, whereas even those with poor talents would see a slight increase. However, as some with very poor talent, their strength increase would be negligible.

Furthermore, life-and-death battles gamble with one's life, so it's not something you can just enter if you want to, because if anything goes wrong, you could die anytime. That's why life-and-death battles can increase strength so quickly, but not many people use this method.

After all, nobody wants to always live under the threat of death. If one really loses their life just to increase strength, it wouldn't be worth it. Besides, without special circumstances or emergency times, nobody would use this method to increase strength because the risk is too high.

Of course, if you have a life-and-death enemy and their strength is greatly superior to yours, to the point where there's no way to catch up without this method, then you can use it. However, if you don't use it well, it will definitely lead to your demise.

By then, let alone revenge, your enemy might even take you as a joke, recalling you when they're in a bad mood to lift their spirits.

The reason Taichu Zhenren allowed Ye Tianfan to use this method was that he believed that here, he wouldn't let Ye Tianfan suffer fatal blows. Because if Ye Tianfan really faced a life-threatening crisis, Taichu Zhenren would act swiftly to surmise Ye Tianfan.

Of course, if Ye Tianfan is not in life-threatening danger, or if a strike is dangerous but not life-threatening, Taichu Zhenren would not intervene, as pressure creates motivation.

As long as Taichu Zhenren ensures that Ye Tianfan won't die, no matter how much harm Ye Tianfan suffers, Taichu Zhenren wouldn't interfere because only in this way can Ye Tianfan rapidly progress.

The crowd didn't quite understand Taichu Zhenren's third requirement, but some smart people had already guessed the real content behind Taichu Zhenren's third requirement. Some people were puzzled because they didn't have this thought in mind and considered those who did as degenerates. However, they also knew such degenerates existed, and quite a few at that.

But what could they do even if they knew? They had no evidence and couldn't do anything to the other party. Just knowing they had this thought, could it be that thoughts were a crime in this era?

Although everyone despised such people, they couldn't prevent these things from happening because where there is justice, there is evil; darkness always accompanies light—this is an unchanging truth.

The purpose of these cultivators is to reduce these shadows so that people can live in peace and happiness.

For this ideal, they were willing to dedicate their lives. Although mainly they wanted to accumulate virtue, no matter how they looked at it, they ultimately saved some civilians, which is undeniable.

Therefore, no matter how they think about it, the civilians are very grateful to them. Of course, some people resent them deeply, because the presence of these cultivators is what shattered their peaceful days. If there were no cultivators in the world, then their wars would not affect them.

Although thinking like this is somewhat fanciful, because even without cultivators, wars would still occur and affect them. But for the moment, they could only pray that, if cultivators disappeared, they could live a completely peaceful and contented life.

Although it's somewhat self-deceptive, there is no other way. After all, many times, when cultivators of the righteous path went to subdue demons and monsters, it caused a lot of collateral damage. Sometimes demonic cultivators would fight with the righteous cultivators in towns, and the righteous cultivators couldn't just stand by, which would cause collateral damage, and once there's collateral damage, hatred arises.

For cultivators like them, if they cause collateral damage to other cultivators, it might not be serious, but the collateral damage they cause in towns mostly affects civilians. For them, the cultivators' collateral damage is a fatal blow.

So, if two cultivators mess up, it could lead to massive casualties or even destroy a town in an instant. Although these are rare occurrences, some demonic cultivators are so depraved that they intentionally move to towns and avoid the wilderness.

Because these evil cultivators believe that only when they are in towns, the righteous cultivators wouldn't do much to them.
