Chapter 982 Dao Zheng Confidence
Chapter 982 — Dao Confidence
For a person who is used to standing at the top, when he suddenly falls to the bottom, he will appear in two states, one is to be completely defeated and fall, and the other is to start to regroup and make a comeback.
Undoubtedly, Zhenwu Sect is the latter.
Zhenwu Sect, once the top power in the Ming Dynasty, their disciples all take Zhenwu Sect as their glory. Even if they are very low-key, their every move can trigger the situation in the world.
However, since the recovery of the world, Zhenwu Sect has become stronger, but its status in the world has declined. Compared with the countless forces that have returned, Zhenwu Sect can almost only be compared with a second-rate force in the Tianhuang Realm.
Such a huge gap is the reality that the Zhenwu Sect, from the headmaster, many elders and guardians, to the disciples, must face.
Under this situation, Zhenwu Sect must strive to become stronger. They must become stronger, restore the glory of Zhenwu Sect, and let Zhenwu Sect stand at the top of the world again. No matter what price they pay or what efforts they make, they must achieve this goal.
This is Zhenwu Sect. Their determination and tenacity are difficult to match with many forces.
That is why Zhenwu Sect had the Zhenwu Plan at the beginning, which wanted to create a congenital god belonging to Zhenwu Sect as the protection of Zhenwu Sect.
And it takes a lot of money to breed a congenital god. For the entire Zhenwu Sect at that time, it was almost countless. Many disciples even had to sacrifice their own paths.
For many forces, such a situation requires such unity and internal control ability, and Zhenwu Sect has done it. They are united and put all their efforts to promote the plan.
The result of the Zhenwu Plan can be said to be a success or a failure. Although it did not breed a powerful and unparalleled congenital god, the practice of replacing the god with their own body allowed them to have a god that is more suitable for them.
Over the years, the power of endless faith and incense has been absorbed, allowing Qingxu Zhenjun to reach a higher level of strength and enter the ninth level of the spiritual realm. With the authority of Zhenwu Demon Emperor, he is the top existence in the entire realm of the strongest.
Although the current Zhenwu Sect has not yet reached the true peak and is far from those immortal sects with true immortals, it is also one of the top forces in the world.
In the Conferred God Wars over the years, the disciples of the Zhenwu Sect have made countless contributions. Qingxu Zhenjun's several actions have suppressed several powerful demon kings, which shocked the cultivators in the world.
Qingxu Zhenjun sat quietly in the Zhenwu Hall, and in the center of the hall opposite him, the formation was lingering, and Bai Xiaosheng sat cross-legged in it with his eyes closed.
Suddenly, Bai Xiaosheng opened his eyes and a smile appeared on his face. Seeing this, Qingxu Zhenjun said, "It seems that everything is going well!"
There are countless secret methods for external incarnation in this world, but except for the incarnation method of the true immortal, most of the secret methods of external incarnation are not easy to hide from the top powerhouses like the Lord of Daxue.
The reason why Bai Xiaosheng was able to hide the world with his incarnation is that in addition to his own exquisite secret method, he also relied on the power of Qingxu Zhenjun and the authority of the throne of the Zhenwu Dangmo Great Emperor held by Qingxu Zhenjun to avoid the detection of the Lord of Daxue.
The two of them had a deep friendship. Pei Xuanjing joined the Taoist Alliance because they were in charge of the inheritance of the Shenxiao Sect and invited Pei Xuanjing to participate.
Although the Taoist Alliance has almost disappeared in name over the years, the relationship between the two has never been disconnected.
Whether it was Bai Xiaosheng providing resources for Zhenwu Sect when promoting the Zhenwu plan, or Bai Xiaosheng's reappearance and Zhenwu Sect's support, the alliance between the two parties has always been solid and has never had any gaps.
This time, facing the invitation of the Lord of Daxue, even if Bai Xiaosheng is confident, he still has to be on guard against such a strong man. In addition to Pei Xuanjing, the true immortal, the most trusted and reliable strong man seems to be the Qingxu Zhenjun who holds the throne.
Qingxu Zhenjun, who now holds the throne of the Zhenwu Dangmo Great Emperor, is not inferior to the Lord of Daxue in terms of his own realm or magical skills. Even if the Lord of Daxue has practiced for countless years, he has accumulated the power of countless faith and incense of the Zhenwu Dangmo Great Emperor, and the two are not inferior in terms of foundation.
In this way, he was able to deceive the Great Xue State Lord with the incarnation method. Of course, there would be loopholes in the use of such an incarnation method. Facing a top-level strongman, he could not afford to have the slightest omission, so his real body fell into a deep sleep, and his entire mind was focused on the incarnation. In order to protect his real body from accidents, he happened to let Qingxu Zhenjun protect the law in Zhenwu Sect.
"Yes, everything went well, and the Great Xue State Lord did not use any means." Bai Xiaosheng nodded.
"Although such a tyrant does not care about other people's evaluation, he naturally has his own set of principles for doing things. Since he invited you so openly, generally speaking, he would not use any means." Qingxu Zhenjun was not surprised by this.
He had dealt with the Great Xue State Lord and some other ancient kings, and he knew these tyrant-like characters.
Unlike casual cultivators, some casual cultivators may not care about their reputation, and do things according to their preferences and without scruples.
However, for those powerful leaders, even some giants of the magic world, they may seem overbearing and brutal, but in fact they have their own set of rules in doing things, which they will not break easily.
After all, they are not really unscrupulous. For most strong men, they have people to check and balance them. Therefore, if he is really an unscrupulous madman, in addition to attracting the fear of others, it will also make some strong men think of exterminating the trouble.
If there is a reason, it is fine if there is a dispute of interests, but this time Bai Xiaosheng and the Lord of Da Xue have no conflict of interests. The other party invited him so openly. If he turned against him, the bad influence caused would be unacceptable to the Lord of Da Xue.
As the saying goes, if you do it on the first day of the month, others can do it on the fifteenth day.
If he does not follow the rules this time, then other strong men or forces can do the same in the future when dealing with the situation of the ancient country of Da Xue.
"Yes, if it is a lone cultivator, it is fine, but the Lord of Da Xue has a big family and a big business, how can he easily care about someone like me." Bai Xiaosheng said with a little self-mockery.
His Bai Xiaosheng organization is indeed a big force, but it depends on who it is compared with. At least now compared with the ancient country of Daxue, if the ancient country of Daxue is affected by him, it will be extremely unprofitable for the Lord of Daxue.
This transaction with the Lord of Daxue is actually an attempt by Bai Xiaosheng. It is a tentative contact for him to start cooperation with many big forces in high-end business.
Over the years, even with some support from Pei Xuanjing and the help of many powerful people, his Bai Xiaosheng organization has grown rapidly and competed with Tianji Pavilion for a lot of business.
But in fact, the business he can get involved in is all low-end, or it is aimed at some small and medium-sized forces and independent cultivators. Those powerful people and big forces who really stand at the top of the world, they still choose Tianji Pavilion more often.
Although they occasionally do business with Bai Xiaosheng, they don’t involve too much confidential information. For some very important confidential information, they trust Tianji Patriarch more. After all, the other party has the golden signboard of Tianji Patriarch, the real immortal for thousands of years.
If Bai Xiaosheng wants to get involved in this high-end business, he needs to negotiate with the big forces such as the ancient country of Daxue and cooperate with them, so as to gain more benefits.
"Your path is like this. This success should be a good start." Qingxu Zhenjun said to Bai Xiaosheng.
If they can choose, every cultivator naturally wants to practice meditation and pursue immortality.
But things are impermanent, even immortality is not easy to get, everything depends on one's own struggle.
In fact, what path everyone takes is slowly determined in the process of practice. Only the path that fits oneself is the real path. If you change a path, although you may avoid strong enemies, it is easy to stop there.
Bai Xiaosheng's path is like this. For his own practice and for his future, he must do so, unless he is willing to give up his own path and switch to a path that is not perfectly suitable for him.
However, such a choice is almost intolerable for a strong man with lofty ambitions.
Moreover, cultivation is like sailing against the current. If you don't move forward, you will retreat. If you retreat and give way because of the Dao dispute this time, then what about the next time? If you encounter a Dao dispute again, should you also retreat and give way?
No matter what difficulties and obstacles there are, the most correct choice is to walk alone on the road, cut through thorns and brambles, and ride the wind and waves.
A cultivator who only knows how to retreat and give way, no matter how high his cultivation level is, after losing the heart of a strong man who moves forward bravely at that moment, he is not worthy of being called a strong man.
Bai Xiaosheng's Dao involves the Dao of Tianji deduction. Even if there is a true immortal Tianji ancestor on this road before, he cannot retreat and continue to move forward.
"How can it be simple? Even if my Dao and the Dao of the Tianji ancestor are not completely overlapping, the Dao of Tianji actually belongs to the Yi Dao, which is derived from the law of destiny in the dark. Whoever has more power will have more hope in the future. How can it be simple?" Bai Xiaosheng shook his head slightly with a bitter look on his face.
Don't look at how confident he is outside, but his family knows his own business.
The Bai Xiaosheng inheritance that he practiced was actually the legacy of the Tianji Pavilion. It was just because he had taken a completely different path from the Tianji Pavilion inheritance and was no longer restricted by the Tao of the Tianji Patriarch.
There were countless disciples in the Tianji Pavilion, including the Tianji Patriarch's junior brother Shen Suanzi. Among the cultivators in the entire Tianji Pavilion, there were no more than five people who practiced the Tianji Daojing of the Tianji Patriarch and could truly jump out of the cage and walk out of their own path.
You should know that although the Tianji Pavilion was only an intelligence force, it also had countless disciples. However, among these countless disciples, only five people were able to get rid of the influence of the Tianji Patriarch with great perseverance and wisdom, and create their own methods from the Tianji Daojing and walk out of their own path, which showed their talents.
And no matter what his identity, purpose, and ambition, Bai Xiaosheng deserved the special attention of the Tianji Patriarch just because he could do this.
The path of cultivation is too lonely, and the secrets of heaven are illusory. Not many cultivators are willing to really take this path. Therefore, even though he knows that Bai Xiaosheng has ambitions, the ancestor of Tianji will not lower his status to bully the weak. Even without Pei Xuanjing's protection, he will not attack Bai Xiaosheng.
He is looking forward to Bai Xiaosheng going further. If one day Bai Xiaosheng can step into the realm of true immortals with his own wisdom and ability, whether it is suppressing him and plundering his wisdom, or sitting and discussing the Tao, it is an excellent choice for the ancestor of Tianji.
As a true immortal and a path-breaker, they are not afraid of people following the same path, and even wish for more people to follow their own path, because they are confident that no matter what, they will not be surpassed by latecomers. It’s the confidence of a true immortal.
Of course, this is the laissez-faire attitude of Patriarch Tianji. Just because he didn't take action, it didn't mean that the others in Tianji Pavilion would let Bai Xiaosheng rise as he pleased.
For Patriarch Tianji, Bai Xiaosheng is a junior and a latecomer. He is not worried about the other party surpassing him, but expects the other party to stand shoulder to shoulder with him.
But the other people in Tianji Pavilion are of the same generation as Bai Xiaosheng and are competitors on the same path. Bai Xiaosheng's rise is shrinking their opportunities, so they will naturally take action.
As a Tianji Pavilion with profound knowledge and powerful people, even if the True Immortal, the ancestor of Tianji, does not take action, their influence and strength will be an extremely powerful pressure for Bai Xiaosheng at this moment.
"Without the True Immortal's action, even if there is a strong enemy, the opponent is just a stepping stone for us to reach the top!" A look of perseverance flashed in the eyes of True Lord Qingxu.
The power of a true immortal is unpredictable, but as an innate god in charge of the divine throne, after hundreds of years of tempering, he has completely mastered this divine body. With his current strength, he is not afraid of any opponent.
Moreover, the road of spiritual practice is not always smooth. On this road, you will inevitably encounter countless difficulties and obstacles, but all of them are your own training, stepping stones to make yourself stronger and go further.
"Not bad!" Bai Xiaosheng also recognized this. Strong men like them may be temporarily frustrated, but they will not be defeated by difficulties and obstacles.
No matter how bumpy the future may be, he has the confidence and will to overcome all hardships and move towards the top.
After talking about his own affairs, Bai Xiaosheng asked God Lord Qingxu: "The demon clan has made the demon summoning flag, and the final battle is about to begin. I don't know if the Zhenwu Sect's Zhenwu plan has really been completed."
When talking about this, even Bai Xiaosheng was a little curious about what kind of power this Zhenwu plan would have if it was really completed.
