Chapter 1058: The Strategy of Becoming an Immortal and the Wrathful Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun
Jiang Ding had made Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun angry for the first time.
And it was the kind of anger that was extreme, furious, deeply disappointed, and profoundly hurt.
"Jiang Ding, why must you do this?"
"Why have you become one of those clueless extreme egalitarians, universalists, and abolitionists among the Immortal Sects, those Immortal Sect infants? Why do this?"
Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun's eyes were full of disappointment: "Is the current state of the Immortal Sects not good?"
"We brothers share a common origin and common experiences, rising together from kindergarten, elementary school, middle school, university... all the way up. We share common memories, we receive the same education, and there are no barriers between us."
"What about those alien races, the human beings beyond the home star?"
"Their growth experiences are completely different from ours. Things we swear to death to recognize, they do not care about at all. Things we despise and discard like old shoes, they fully endorse, just like Xu Yan."
"Above myself, everyone is equal; below myself, the hierarchy is clear."
"Yes, these people are very obedient, very well-behaved, completely willing to submit, and appear to recognize all our various principles."
"But what if they become stronger?!"
"Jiang Ding!"
Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun shouted sternly.
"Take this Dong Xue He Wang for example. If he advances to the Void Refinement realm, will he still recognize the correctness of the Immortal Sects' unity of Immortal and Mortal? Will he not think, 'I am an Emperor, how can I be the same as you ants'?"
"Touch your own conscience, touch your own sword heart, and tell me: someone like Dong Xue He Wang, if he utilizes the various conveniences of the Immortal Sects to achieve the highest cultivation within them, will he still be as respectful and obedient as he is now, recognizing all our principles?"
Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun was filled with boundless anger.
In his view, cultivators beyond the home star, whether human or alien, were all disasters, one by one, with absolutely no qualification to become citizens.
"Yes,"
Jiang Ding fell silent for a moment, then said.
"If Dong Xue He Wang possesses the Void Refinement realm, there is a high probability he will rebel."
"He will certainly try to turn the Immortal Sects into a single Sect, rename the Immortal Sects as the Zhenshan Immortal Sect, take whatever he wants for himself, and possess everything."
Dong Xue He Wang was a cultivator even more despicable than the cultivators of Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong, because his origin was an extremely vicious survival environment that forced him to be so.
Dong Xue He Wang also held deep affection for the Zhenshan Sect from which he originated.
Bang!
"Hah?!"
Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun smashed the tea table before him with a palm strike and roared in furious rage: "You actually know this? Hah? I thought you were young and naive, always cultivating, and didn't understand these things!"
"Since you know, why do you still invite the wolf into the house?!"
"The stability the Immortal Sects enjoy now is such a fortunate
thing; why destroy it?"
Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun was utterly perplexed.
He was deeply hurt, even suspecting that this young man in green robes before him had not yet fully recovered, was still affected by the Flame Rule power of Emperor Yan Shi, and his soul had become abnormal.
"Because! I want to become an Immortal!"
"And furthermore, within the realms, the law of the Dark Forest applies: civilizations are like boats rowing against the current; if you do not advance, you retreat, and backward civilizations must perish!"
Jiang Ding gazed at the elder before him, yielding not an inch, and said in a heavy voice.
"Become an Immortal, your grandmother!"
Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun cursed loudly.
This young man in green robes before him gave him a sense of déjà vu, indistinguishable from Xu Yan just before the moment he betrayed the Immortal Sects.
Both were Immortal Sect geniuses, both possessed unparalleled talent, and both were driven by an intense longing for the path to higher realms.
The difference was that this Immortal Sect genius possessed even more terrifying talent and ability; at such a young age, he already possessed the combat power of a Near-Emperor and had the potential to comprehend the power of Order at the Nascent Soul stage, surpassing all previous Great Sun Sword Disciples.
And the Great Sun Sword Disciples of past generations often held the title of the number one genius of the Nine Spirit Realm.
This meant that the young man before him was the strongest genius in the realms in hundreds of thousands of years!
If his inheritance was complete, he would inevitably advance to the Void Refinement realm!
At the same time, his ambition was far greater than Xu Yan's; what Xu Yan sought tirelessly throughout his life, sacrificing everything to obtain, he merely viewed as a stage in life, not as the end point.
Become an Immortal!
Become an Immortal!
This goal, which countless geniuses in countless realms had crazily pursued, spending their entire lives without regret, was the target he gazed upon.
This young man in green robes appeared normal, but in reality, he was half-mad.
"Damn it!"
Thinking of this, Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun cursed in anger and felt even more hurt.
"Whether you admit it or not,"
"Senior, this is the ultimate truth within the realms."
Jiang Ding gently stroked his sword hilt and said slowly: "Today, we encountered the Horned Demon Emperor Clan and the Horned Jiao Jiao Mingyu; in the future, we will inevitably encounter more Immortal Dao civilizations. If we are not strong enough, we will surely perish."
"Do not speak of low probabilities."
"Our lifespans are ten thousand years; with further development of the Immortal Dao within the Immortal Sects, tens of thousands of years will be common. In such an immense span of time, too many things can happen."
"Even if we do not encounter them, and our luck is very good, our descendants will inevitably encounter them!"
"The Immortal Dao is like rowing against the current; if you do not advance, you retreat. The weak must be devoured."
"Cultivators beyond the home star like Dong Xue He Wang, and alien cultivators like the Skeletal Blood Vine and the Demon Flower Vine, all have ambitions. Even if their moral and ethical scores reach 'Good', it does
not mean they are the same as citizens; if they reach the summit in the future, the possibility of them overthrowing the Immortal Sects is high."
"On this point, I agree; the risk indeed exists."
"But what about the benefits within it?"
"Senior!"
Jiang Ding was equally angered, roaring low: "The myriad races' geniuses, the geniuses from beyond the realms are endless; they are born and appear every single moment. If we can incorporate them all for our own use, their world-shocking wisdom will be ours!"
"The myriad races, countless peerless human geniuses, walk the same path as us!"
"Their power can be borrowed by us!"
"The path of Refining Void, the path beyond Refining Void—faced with the vast number of peerless geniuses of the myriad races, what insurmountable difficulties remain?"
"In this process, if any genius violates the Immortal Gate laws and seeks to overthrow the Immortal Gate, I swear I will hunt them down to death, annihilate their soul and spirit, leave them no qualification even for reincarnation, and show not the slightest mercy!"
"Furthermore, even among citizens, do we rely solely on morality to restrain them?"
"Will citizens not harbor thoughts of overthrowing the Immortal Gate system? Will they not have ideas of turning the Immortal Gate into a sect or a family? Then who are Xu Yan and that surname Wang?"
Jiang Ding looked at Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun and said sternly, "Senior, do not think I do not know. At this moment when the Immortal Gate is about to produce a Refining Void cultivator, in this era when internal power within the Immortal Gate is about to become unbalanced, you have already begun preparations."
"Preparations for what?"
"Preparations for means of balance, promulgating more laws, changes appearing in troop movements, the Mother Star formation iterating more than ten times in a short period, the Mother Star formation and the Central Array Spirit computer secret keys becoming several times more complex, the Central Array Spirit computer's logical operation and judgment sensitivity increasing more than tenfold, disregarding even collateral damage."
"What are these for?"
Master Canghai Canghai Tianjun fell silent.
