Hearing these high-sounding words, Fei Chen Xue did not know why, but she felt a little conflicted in her heart.
“You’re leaving?”
“Yes,”
Chen Daoxuan nodded.” There are many things in the clan. I’ve been in the Yun Nation for so long, and the clan’s affairs have always been taken care of by the younger generation. I really need to go back and reorganize them.”
Hearing this.
Fei Chenxue hesitated for a moment and asked,”Do you also think I did something wrong?””
Chen Daoxuan frowned.” Sect Master, what are you referring to?”
“You know what I’m talking about, so why pretend not to know?”
Fei Chenxue turned her head and looked at the dense water vapor in the celestial pond.” All these years, the people in the sect don’t understand what I’ve done. The cultivation clans see me as a thorn in their side. Even my junior brother might not be able to truly understand me.”
Chen Daoxuan could hear the bitterness in Fei Chenxue’s words.
What a person insisted on doing was not understood by everyone, including the people closest to him. How painful and desperate it was.
Just as Fei Chenxue had said, Qin Zhan was the junior brother that she had taken care of since she was young. Towards her orders, Qin Zhan would only blindly obey, but he would never consider whether Fei Chenxue’s actions were right or wrong.
Perhaps in Qin Zhan’s eyes, this senior sister of hers was much more important than the sect.
Seeing that Chen Daoxuan was silent, Fei Chenxue suddenly stood up and said,””You follow me, I follow you,”
“Where to…”
However, before he could finish his sentence, Chen Daoxuan and Fei Chenxue’s figures instantly disappeared from where they were.
It was the largest island in the territory of the Qian Yuan Sword Sect.
There were countless mortals living here. Although the Qianyuan Sword Sect had never counted the specific population, it was roughly estimated that this island was larger than a continent on Earth in Chen Daoxuan’s previous life.
There were at least billions of people living there.
This island was also the real foundation of the former Qian Yuan Sword Sect.
However, as an immortal cultivator, Chen Daoxuan rarely came into contact with mortals. He had never seen the city on this huge island before.
This was the first time he had set foot in the mortal city of the Heaven Essence Sword Sect.
Within the city.
There was an endless stream of people on the streets. On both sides, there were various vendors and restaurants selling their wares. Along the way, there were painted boats in Hanoi, making Chen Daoxuan feel as if he was in an ancient society.
Everything was so novel.
Chen Daoxuan had seen many mortal cities, but none of them could compare to this one.
Chen Daoxuan couldn’t tell why.
“What do you think of this mortal city?” Fei Chenxue turned around.”
“It’s very prosperous and lively.”
Chen Daoxuan didn’t know what Fei Chenxue meant by this and simply commented.
Fei Chenxue shook her head.”
“I’ve seen him before!”
Chen Daoxuan couldn’t help but recall the mortal city he saw in Cangzhou.
Although some of these mortal cities were even larger than this one, none of the mortals in these cities could compare to the mortals in this city.
“It seems that you can see it too.”
Fei Chenxue smiled.” The mortals here are different from those in Cangzhou.” That’s right!
Fei Chenxue’s words seemed to have opened a window in the darkness, instantly giving him a feeling of enlightenment.
In the eyes of the mortals in this city, he saw something called confidence and hope.
This kind of thing was rarely seen even in the eyes of Chen Daoxuan’s ordinary clansmen.
Until now.
Chen Daoxuan still remembered the terrified look on the faces of the ordinary clansmen of the Chen family when they saw the immortal master of the Chen family.
Not to mention those ordinary mortals who were not members of the Chen clan.
In the Infinite Star Sea, not all mortals were under the rule of their family cultivators.
Some islands with barren spiritual energy were inhabited by mortals, but there were no clans or factions.
This kind of deserted island was usually taken care of by one or a few itinerant cultivators.
And these itinerant cultivators were the actual rulers of this deserted island.
Chen Daoxuan remembered that when he first set foot in Guang ‘an Prefecture Immortal City, the slaves he saw were all handcuffed and shackled. They were all born on this kind of deserted island.
In the eyes of these mortals, Chen Daoxuan could only see one expression, and that was numbness!
This kind of numbness would only appear when a person completely despaired of the world.
In the past, Chen Daoxuan had also felt this despair before he activated the golden finger, the Primordial Enlightenment Scripture.
Because in his opinion, although he had a spiritual root, he could feel the terrifying level of this world.
In the Infinite Star Sea.
The Qian Yuan Sword Sect was at the top of this level.
Next, it was the Nascent Soul clans, then the Golden Core clans, the Zifu clans…
Finally, there were the weak itinerant cultivators.
However, even the weakest rogue cultivator was still a cultivator.
Then… What about the largest group of mortals in the Infinite Star Sea?
Did anyone care?
No!
No, maybe there was, but this person was not understood by everyone.
“Do you want the mortals in the Infinite Star Sea to be like the mortals here?”
Chen Daoxuan suddenly said,
Fei Chenxue turned her head and looked at him with her beautiful eyes. She nodded and said,””That’s right!”
Chen Daoxuan looked at her quietly.
“Do you know the price of doing this?””
“Of course I know.”
Fei Chenxue sighed and said,” That’s why I’ve faced so many obstacles and criticisms along the way.
Sometimes, I often wonder, why do we cultivators cultivate?
Was it immortality and becoming an immortal? Or is it for strength and power?”
Then, Fei Chenxue smiled.” Later, I finally understood. I embarked on the path of cultivation for longevity, but not just for longevity!”
Chen Daoxuan’s expression changed slightly.
This was the first time he had heard a cultivator tell him that she cultivated not for herself, or rather, not just for herself.
For the common people, for the countless mortals in the Infinite Star Sea?
At this moment.
Chen Daoxuan sincerely felt that Fei Chenxue was qualified to be the ruler of the Infinite Star Sea.
It was not because of her strength and potential, but because of her broad mind.
Chen Daoxuan asked himself. He didn’t have such a magnanimity.
From the beginning to the end, what he did was only for himself and the people closest to him. At most…In addition to the members of the Chen family.
He had never thought about what would happen to the mortals in the Infinite Star Sea, not even the itinerant cultivators.
However, Fei Chenxue had not only thought about it, but she had also sacrificed for them.
Based on this alone, Fei Chenxue was more suitable than anyone else to be the ruler of the Infinite Star Sea.
But… Although he had a broad mind, in Chen Daoxuan’s opinion, the other party was still a little too idealistic.
Fei Chenxue saw the change in Chen Daoxuan’s expression and said nervously,””You… Don’t you think I’m good?”
“Yes.”
Chen Daoxuan nodded. Have you ever thought that the encounter of mortals and itinerant cultivators in the Infinite Star Sea was not because the disciples of the Qianyuan Sword Sect and the family cultivators had too many resources, but because the resources in the Infinite Star Sea were not enough?
Even if you forcibly took out a large part of the resources in the Infinite Star Sea and distributed it to the mortals and the itinerant Cultivators, it would only result in insufficient resources for everyone.”
As the ruler of the Infinite Star Sea, Fei Chenxue certainly understood what Chen Daoxuan meant.
“However, in the past hundreds of years, high-level Cultivators who were independent cultivators in the Infinite Star Sea have emerged like an oil well.”
” That’s because of the dividends from the war!”
” No.” Chen Daoxuan shook his head.” You can’t keep the war going for the mortals and itinerant Cultivators in the Infinite Star Sea, can you?”
Hearing this, Fei Chenxue fell silent.
She knew that Chen Daoxuan was right.
The Infinite Star Sea had been developing like a raging fire for hundreds of years, and it was precisely because of the dividends of the war that it had gained.
It was also because of the dividends of the war that the internal conflicts in the Infinite Star Sea did not intensify completely.
However, the war would end one day, and the Qianyuan Sword Sect could not continue to expand.
At that time.
What about the itinerant cultivators in the Infinite Star Sea? What about mortals?
Chen Daoxuan’s words made Fei Chenxue start to doubt herself.
Could it be…Was her persistence for so many years really wrong?
Could it be that cultivators should be divided into three, six, and nine grades, and rogue cultivators would never have a chance?
Even rogue cultivators who had embarked on the path of cultivation were like this, let alone mortals.
Where would those mortals who were unable to cultivate and were stuck in the mud go?
Could it be that they could only be like livestock, waiting to be slaughtered?
“If you can see this, you must have a way, right?”
Fei Chenxue looked at Chen Daoxuan and said firmly..
