Chapter 570
Venti nodded repeatedly and said approvingly:
"Right! If anyone goes, it should be me!"
Jiang Yan glanced at Venti and said softly:
"Head Seat Zhongli has already broken through to the peak of Refining Qi into Spirit, and Elder Alice is also on the verge of breaking through; finally, only you, Head Seat Venti, are left."
"You should also put more effort into your cultivation; otherwise, it wouldn't be appropriate to let Head Seat Ei get ahead of you again."
"Moreover, after the Jiuyou Secret Realm ends, you will accompany me to the Xuanming world; I hope you can break through to the peak of Refining Qi into Spirit in the Xuanming world."
"You don't need to bother with the Honkai world."
Hearing Jiang Yan's words, Venti touched his head sheepishly.
"Hehe! Just kidding! I'm also working hard; after the Jiuyou Secret Realm Exploration Conference ends, I should be able to break through."
"I hope so."
Jiang Yan said noncommittally and looked at Neuvillette.
"I will tell you later before you leave about the people in the Honkai world who need attention."
Neuvillette nodded and said softly:
"Sect Master, do you need me to specifically look for some geniuses to bring back?"
"Leave this to Himeko."
Jiang Yan looked at Himeko and said softly:
"As a human native to the Honkai world, Himeko should know better who is a genius."
Himeko nodded heavily; those who appeared in the scene just now, whoever is famous, bring them back.
Even at the worst, they should be seeds for inner disciples.
As for the good ones like Kiana and the others, Himeko even doubted if they had divine bodies.
There are simply too many geniuses in the Honkai world.
However, Himeko still hesitated and said:
"Sect Master, what about Otto..."
"What you want to ask is how to deal with Otto, right?"
Jiang Yan asked calmly, and Himeko nodded.
"What Otto did, you have seen, Sect Master; although he is a praiseworthy guy in terms of love, it cannot be denied..."
"He is also a paranoid madman."
This statement was deeply acknowledged by everyone.
Jean frowned slightly and said slowly:
"Human experimentation, disregard for life, condoning evil... from these perspectives, this guy already meets Shushan's standards for subduing demons and eliminating devils."
Before Jiang Yan could answer, Rosalyne on the side said seriously:
"But, he also blocked the Honkai for five hundred years and saved countless lives, didn't he?"
377. Otto is likely a genius, remember to bring him back
Jean looked at Rosalyne and said softly:
"What does Senior Sister Rosalyne mean?"
Rosalyne shook her head and said helplessly:
"Junior Sister Jean, Otto, in my opinion, is not exactly heinous."
"Admittedly, for some, they wish Otto would die immediately, but for most people in that world."
"Otto is the hero who let them live; for five hundred years, how many people didn't die because of the Honkai and lived out their lives?"
"This is his achievement; I think Otto is not as sinister, vicious, and inhumane as demonic cultivators."
"In his dark soul, there is still a final shining point."
"As the saying goes, judge by actions, not by heart; regardless of whether it was because of Kallen, he ultimately protected countless people."
"One cannot simply define him as a demon because of some mistakes."
Saying this, Rosalyne looked at Jiang Yan and noticed the flash of satisfaction in his eyes, and she became even more confident.
"Of course, the most important point is that I think our Shushan currently lacks strength."
"Otto is unparalleled in strategy and his mind is excellent enough; this alone is enough to prove that he will be a cultivation genius."
"Such a genius should join Shushan and contribute to Shushan's revival; Sect Master, is that so?"
Everyone looked at Jiang Yan, and the latter nodded slightly and smiled:
"Rosalyne already has a high ability to judge cultivators."
"In fact, it is just as Rosalyne said."
"There is an old saying in the cultivation world: killing one is a crime, slaughtering ten thousand is a hero, slaughtering a million is a hero among heroes."
"Although it is cruel, between the interests of most people and the life and death of a few, if we cannot have the best of both worlds, Shushan will also choose the interests of the majority without hesitation."
"There are righteous and evil in the world, but it is by no means black and white; there are righteous cultivators who act perversely and ruthlessly, and naturally there are demonic cultivators who pity the world and subdue demons and eliminate devils."
"The world has always been a delicate gray."
"Jean, do you understand?"
Jean was silent for a moment, and her whole person seemed to radiate a brand new style.
She bowed and said:
"Thank you, Sect Master! Thank you, Senior Sister Rosalyne! This disciple understands."
Jiang Yan nodded with satisfaction.
"Otto acts without a bottom line and can be considered sinister, but he can also be considered frank."
"He harmed many people, but he also protected many people."
"Although he doesn't care about either."
"But he is indeed not a purely evil person."
"Right now, Shushan is in need of people, and Otto is intelligent and will be a good seed for cultivation."
"If there is a chance, bring him back; but there is no rush."
"Otto is very vigilant, and Himeko has a grudge against him; if it doesn't work, just bring back the Dao mark of the Honkai world."
Neuvillette nodded and kept the name Otto in his heart.
Himeko said with some worry:
"Sect Master, although Otto is not a purely evil person, he will do anything to achieve his goals..."
"If he cultivates, I'm afraid..."
The original Otto could control the world with strategy; if he cultivated...
Wouldn't he take off?
Jiang Yan smiled silently, shook his head and said:
"Himeko, I hope you always remember that in the cultivation world, the first rule is that strength is respected."
"Power is the capital that determines everything."
"If you want to control a person, cultivators have too many means; forcibly branding with slavery runes, capturing souls and modifying minds."
"Coercion and inducement are means that cultivators have never disdained to use."
"But Shushan disdains to do such things."
Jiang Yan said somewhat proudly.
"Shushan encourages all disciples' suitable ambitions; even if Otto wants to be the Sect Master after cultivating, as long as he has the ability to defeat me, he can."
"In the world of cultivators, in the case of unequal strength, there is no right to equal communication."
"And naturally, there is no... right to calculate and be calculated."
"The strong kill the weak, what does it have to do with the weak?"
Himeko felt somewhat melancholic; she was ultimately somewhat one-sided in her thinking.
Otto's strategy is unparalleled, but so what?
In the face of absolute strength, all strategies are children's tricks.
Even if Otto risked his life to lay out a plan for a thousand years, Jiang Yan would just watch it as a joke; if he wanted him to fail, he would just wave his hand.
Just by the fact that he is about to break through to Refining Void and Combining Dao, there are few people in the heavens and worlds below the Immortal level who can calculate him.
It would be about the same if Otto were replaced by the strength of the Evil Sword Immortal.
