Chapter 1188

Ye Hei: "Why does that sound so weird?!"

Su Xiao: "You're the number one in the universe—you've got to exploit all the races! Have them grow spiritual herbs for you!"

Hu Yifei: "Wow, no wonder you're the merchant prince's daughter. Speak up, Su Xiao—what kind of streetlamp do you want?"

Xiao Mai: "We're sisters, so give us a pink streetlamp."

Han Paopao: "Just thinking about it is terrifying. Su Xiao always reveals her dark side without meaning to."

Nan Xiaoniao/Wu: "True. She's like a heartless merchant."

Su Xiao: "What are you all thinking? I said cooperation—why does it suddenly turn into hanging streetlamps?!"

Su Xiao: "Have all the races grow spiritual herbs, then you bestow various scriptures upon them—wouldn't that be wonderful? It's a win-win."

Ye Hei: "That's worth trying. But wouldn't that invite heavenly retribution?"

Zhang Taixuan: "Probably not. In your timeline, life energy is scarce, and cultivators die young. Unless they reach the True Immortal realm, they'll perish quickly—minimal impact on heaven and earth."

Ye Hei: "Lord Dao spoke the most brutal truth in the plainest tone."

Zhang Taixuan: "Also, since this is a xianxia world, warfare and slaughter are common, naturally controlling the number of cultivators. So it's very safe."

Su Xiao: "So people in xianxia worlds are hot-headed—and that's a good thing? Is this also a deliberate evolution of heaven's Dao?"

Zhang Taixuan: "Exactly. Otherwise, why do so many from high-level worlds start fighting at the slightest provocation? Beyond the 'strength rules' mindset, it's also heaven's Dao at work."

If everyone cultivated peacefully, cultivators would multiply too fast, overwhelming the world. So heaven's Dao forces them to fight—winners stay, losers are eliminated."

Su Xiao: "So heaven's Dao is social Darwinism."

Su Xiao: "What if I create a method to calm the mind and quiet the spirit, and spread it widely? How would heaven's Dao respond?"

Ye Hei: "Heaven's Dao would strike you dead. Su Xiao, you're not even trying to avoid opposing heaven's Dao—are you just itching for punishment?"

Zhang Taixuan: "No, heaven's Dao might not even need to target you—your method would fail on its own. It could even cause severe consequences."

Hu Yifei: "If heaven's Dao doesn't target you, what serious consequences could arise?"

Su Xiao: "Exactly! As long as heaven's Dao doesn't target me, I'll be a founding ancestor. How could anything go wrong?"

Zhang Taixuan: "No, you've forgotten one thing. Even in a xianxia world with endless lands, resources are finite. Calming the mind and quieting the spirit can resolve ordinary disputes, but not those sparked by resources."

After all, no matter how powerful you are, you can't conjure cultivation resources out of thin air, can you?"

Su Xiao: "That's true! But according to Brother Taixuan, if I spread the calming method, wouldn't that reduce conflicts? Why would it get worse?"

Zhang Taixuan: "Before, cultivators were hot-headed and clashed immediately over resources—seemingly brutal, but conflicts were small-scale. Now, with calm minds, resource grabs become deliberate, planned acts."

Then it's not just disputes—it's conspiracies crafted by cultivators' superior wisdom."

Zhang Taixuan: "When cultivators start playing the Thirty-Six Stratagems, forming alliances and breaking them—can you imagine how beautiful that scene would be? Then it won't be small skirmishes—it could erupt into full-scale wars among cultivators."

Zhang Taixuan: "When cultivators begin forming alliances and breaking them, it could indeed lead to multiple sects acting together—or even a massive war across an entire great region. Calming the mind and quieting the spirit is sometimes good, but not here."

Hu Yifei: "If cultivators start forming alliances and breaking them, it could indeed lead to multiple sects acting together—or even a massive war across an entire great region. Calming the mind and quieting the spirit is sometimes good, but not here."

Hu Yifei: "If cultivators begin forming alliances and breaking them, it could indeed lead to multiple sects acting together—or even a massive war across an entire great region. Calming the mind and quieting the spirit is sometimes good, but not here."

Su Xiao: "This is insane!"

Ye Hei: "When cultivators' wisdom matches their realm, it's terrifying. If mortals can devise alliances and betrayals, so can they—maybe even better."

Han Paopao: "No wonder xianxia cultivators are so hot-headed—there's such a deep reason. It limits their numbers without letting wars spiral out of control. Heaven's Dao's evolution is truly miraculous."

Han Paopao: "No wonder xianxia cultivators are so hot-headed—there's such a deep reason. It limits their numbers without letting wars spiral out of control. Heaven's Dao's evolution is truly miraculous."

Su Xiao: "Big failure. My brilliant idea failed again!"

Hu Yifei: "Su Xiao, just cultivate faster. You're suited for brute-force breakthroughs. Don't bother with wisdom."

...... request flowers.....

Xiao Mai: "I thought you'd improved. Turns out you're still insane—are you possessed by a broom star?"

Su Xiao: "No I'm not! I'm going to cultivate now. Wait till I refine my Celestial Immortal Dao Fruit—then, with future wisdom, I'll definitely advance!"

Ye Hei: "No, you might just become even more destructive then."

Qi Tian Da Sheng: "That's entirely possible."

Su Xiao: "Aaaah, you're all looking down on me! I'll prove it—I'm not stupid, Su Xiao isn't a fool! 【Slams table】"

The world of The Knight Errant.

After some time of development, the Taixuan Sect has taken initial shape.

"A Xiu, are you getting used to life here?"

Shi Jian asked softly, watching A Xiu practice her sword forms with rigid precision.

At first, she resented that A Xiu was the protagonist while she was just a supporting character.

But since meeting A Xiu, she realized this girl perfectly matched her heart's desire.

Gentle, kind, with a heart as clever and refined as seven apertures.

Thus, the two became close sisters.

"It's wonderful here," A Xiu replied, sheathing her sword. "No snow of Lingxiao City—spring warmth and blooming flowers are simply beautiful."

"By the way, why do you dislike Ding Dang so much? Why did you punish Ding Bu San and Ding Bu Si to mine coal?"

Shi Jian sniffed: "You'll find out later. Just keep your guard up around that Ding girl—treat her as a servant. If you're too kind, she'll turn the world upside down."

Shi Jian is still young, with little bloodlust.

Even knowing Ding Dang's future deeds, she didn't kill her with one palm strike—instead, she placed a restriction on her and kept her as a servant.

Of course, she showed no mercy to the Ding brothers—she threw them straight into the coal mine for hard labor, a form of reform to atone for past sins.

"I understand," A Xiu nodded gently. "I'll watch her. By the way, when do we go back to the Earth Immortal Realm?"

A Xiu clearly knew Shi Jian was not evil.

She brought celestial troops and brought good days to the common people.

She also taught martial artists across the land the path to immortality—she was nothing short of a living Bodhisattva.

Now, the number of temples built for Shijian across the realm is countless.

The people's eyes are as clear as snow.

Since Shijian spoke ill of Dingdang, she naturally would not ignore it.

"The Earth Immortal Realm?" Shijian's eyes also brightened with anticipation. "Tomorrow, then—though I wonder if this time I'll get to visit the Great Luo Heaven!"
