Chapter 146: Chapter 145: The True Heart of Pei Xuanjing, Simulated Once Again
Translator: 549690339
Pei Xuanjing laughed and shook his head, “I just don’t want to see what some ambitious ones are up to.”
If the current Great Ming dynasty is a decaying empire, having reached a point where the people are living in dire straits, where they’re starving and resorting to exchanging their children for food.
If a hero rises up, overthrowing the decadent empire and fighting for the survival of the common people, Pei Xuanjing would certainly not stand in their way. He might even lend a hand. Even if countless lives would be sacrificed in the process, it could be considered worthwhile.
Better to be a peaceful dog than a chaotic human.
Pei Xuanjing cannot allow his personal disdain to lead him to take action on matters, especially those concerning the lives of countless people.
Pei Xuanjing is not a saint. He does not have the ability to shape the world according to his ideals. It would also be difficult for him to take on the responsibility of drastically changing the world and sacrificing everything for the common people.
At least, he does not have this ability now.
As for having it in the future, Pei Xuanjing does not know.
In the same way.
The current Great Ming hasn’t reached that point yet. The majority of the people can still get a full meal, and they haven’t thought of fighting back yet.
Therefore, those ambitious ones who, for their own desires and ambition, want to incite chaos for power and seize things. This is something Pei Xuanjing does not want to see.
Because although both situations are undesirable, at least the common people still have a way to survive.
Pei Xuanjing will act according to his own thoughts to prevent all this.
Bai Xiaosheng and Taoist Qingxu do not know the complexity, conflict, and contradiction in Pei Xuanjing’s heart.
They only see Pei Xuanjing’s willingness to intervene, admire his heroism, and further recognize him as a friend, fellow Taoist, and cooperator.
“Things haven’t reached such a point. As I see it, there’s still time before a potential outbreak,” Bai Xiaosheng said softly.
He said to Pei Xuanjing, “1 will deploy more people to focus on this matter. Once there’s any change,
I’ll inform you. What Grandmaster Pei needs to do now is to concentrate on cultivation at Taihe Mountain and enhance his strength. After all, if you are forced to take action in the end, you will need sufficient strength.”
Taoist Qingxu also nodded, “That’s right. I will also observe this matter in secret, connect with some Taoist friends, and if things eventually become uncontrollable, I’ll take action with my Taoist friends.”
The reputation of the True Martial Sect isn’t just for show. In the past, they simply didn’t care about this matter, but now that they know, they can exert a tremendous force once they take action.
And having seen Pei Xuanjing take such a step, Taoist Qingxu naturally won’t be left behind, deciding to take action with Pei Xuanjing at the crucial moment.
Pei Xuanjing nodded.
If he can further enhance his strength within these two or three years, he might be able to effortlessly resolve this matter.
The three of them went their separate ways.
Bai Xiaosheng and Taoist Qingxu started to closely monitor the situation, while Pei Xuanjing temporarily put all distractions aside and focused on studying the martial arts skills and refining accumulated Taoyun values.
With the intervention of the True Martial Sect and other forces, the Tartar tribe’s invasion of the border was quickly resolved.
Adding to Pei Xuanjing’s disappearance, and the Mire Sect’s focus on preparing for the Northwest Dao, the entire Daming Jianghu quickly regained its previous tranquility.
Well, to say it was quiet, doesn’t mean it was really quiet. It was just absent of extraordinary occurrences like Pei Xuanjing taking the lives of Seventh-grade Martial Artist.
The disputes among the lower martial artists had always existed and had never ceased.
And with the spread of the Martial Classics, within a short half-year, it had spread throughout the entire Jianghu, providing countless little-known individuals the chance to change their destiny.
Within this short span of a year, based on the observations and approximated calculations by various forces, a surprising conclusion was drawn.
That is, in the entire Great Ming, countless people have become Breakthrough Martial Artists due to the Martial Classics, an almost 10% increase in comparison to the original number of Martial Artists.
And this is just the first year of the spread of the Martial Classics. As time goes on, more and more people will break through Ninth-grade Martial Artists.
Of course, with the increase in the number of martial artists, disputes naturally increase.
Countless martial artists, in order to compete for cultivation resources, have started to fight each other.
Some have succeeded and reached the next level.
Some have failed and lost their lives.
Seasons changed; time flew.
Before one knows it, Pei Xuanjing has already spent around one and a half years in the True Martial Sect.
During this one and a half years, with the guidance and resources provided by Taoist Qingxu, Pang Hong directly broke through to the realm of a Seventh-grade Martial Artist.
And Pei Xuanjing, on an evening, finally accumulated enough Taoyun value to activate the Life Simulator twice.
[Taoyun: 211647 points.]
[Do you want to use the Life Simulator? It requires 100,000 Taoyun points for one use.]
After Pei Xuanjing returned to his room, he began this Life Simulation.
[Great Tao fifty, Forty-Nine Heavenly Paths, one is absent! Therefore, all things in the world have a glimmer of hope for life!]
Age twenty-seven: You leave the True Martial Sect Scripture Pavilion, worrying about Ning King’s rebellion. So you, Bai Xiaosheng, and Taoist Qingxu decide to activate the Secret Blessed Land of the Shenxiao Sect in advance.
A month later, you enter the Secret Blessed Land.
This is when you discover the secret of the Shenxiao Jade Book, which can only be truly activated when the Shenxiao Jade Book has been successfully cultivated, and the practitioner has broken through to the First-grade.
The three of you overcome the traps and threats left by the Shenxiao Sect, entering the core of the Blessed Land where you discover the real secret – a manual to the method of Longevity.
Age twenty-eight: You leave the Blessed Land. Bai Xiaosheng gets the news that a rebellion in the Northwest Dao will soon rise up and that Ning King wants to raise an army. You decide to behead Ning King to eliminate the rebellion.
On your way, you hear that Ning King, who had already killed officials and raised a rebellion and took half of Yangzhou by storm, was stopped by Wang Yun, the then Nan Gan Circuit Superintendent. In just half a month, Ning King’s army was in disarray.
However, due to the lack of experts on their side, even though Wang Boan defeated Ning King’s army, some experts were still able to escort Ning King away.
You cut off Ning King’s escape route with Bai Xiaosheng’s information, and despite being heavily guarded by experts, you still cut down Ning King with your sword.
Just as you were about to leave, you happened to run into the commander of the Great Ming court,
Wang Boan..
