The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 609: Chapter 559 – Bai Xiaosheng’s Preparation

Regarding his disciple, Pei Xuanjing admitted that when he first accepted him, there was a hint of pity involved.

Because when he saw that matured youngster at the Martial Academy, he seemingly saw himself in his younger times, hence his compassion was aroused.

So, everything that followed — his meticulous nurturing, and earnest teachings — happened because of this.

However, Pei Xuanjing has now found that his disciple is possibly taking things a little too seriously. Although it may not be discernible now, when he reaches the stage of cultivation in the future, this may turn into his obsession, his demon.

“To express gratitude is a principle I’ve learned since I was a child. The master has been merciful to me, without your teachings and nurturing, I wouldn’t have been here today.” Pang Hong shook his head and said, “I don’t think this is an obsession or a demon, it’s my principle for living, unchangeable no matter what, and I won’t regret it even if it kills me.”

Having reached this age, Pang Hong naturally has his own set of beliefs. About the obsessions Pei Xuanjing proposed that may block his cultivation, Pang Hong actually didn’t worry or care about it at all.

In his heart, this is precisely what he believes in. He doesn’t do this to deliberately flatter, but because he really wants to do so.

Pei Xuanjing was silent, and didn’t know how to reason with him.

He’s not someone good at persuading others, so when Pang Hong put forth his viewpoint, Pei Xuanjing couldn’t immediately reject his understanding.

Thus, the only thing he could do is to switch the topic temporarily, suppress it, and wait for a stealthy influence on him later on.

Moreover, he believed that with his realm, even if his disciple made a mistake during cultivation in the future, he could still save him.

“How has the True Martial Sect been lately, has Taoist Qingxu come out of seclusion?” Pei Xuanjing asked Pang Hong about the situation of the True Martial Sect.

The most suitable person to inquire about the True Martial Sect would originally be Qingyang Zi, who comes from the sect.

Unfortunately, Qingyang Zi entered seclusion before Pei Xuanjing came out, and since he was always in the Taoist Academy, he didn’t know much about the sect. Therefore, even if Pei Xuanjing asked, Qingyang Zi wouldn’t be clear about it.

Upon hearing his master’s inquiry, Pang Hong thought about it and shook his head, “The True Martial Sect has been very low-key these past few decades. Taoist Qingxu has also been in seclusion on Taihe Mountain the entire time, never once setting foot in the martial world.”

It’s strange to say, but over the years, while various forces have somewhat restrained their expansion due to fear of the people of the Sky Wasteland, they didn’t truly stop.

On the contrary, the True Martial Sect has been very low-key. All their disciples have started to return to the mountain. The True Martial Sect’s leader, Taoist Qingxu, has not taken a single step into the martial world.

You must know that back in the day when he was atop of the martial world, the Demonic Cult’s leader, Xue Wuheng, and the outsider, Zhao Baiyang have both been active lately. It seems they were announcing a comeback to the world.

However, this Taoist Qingxu who was originally superior to the two, has been extremely low-key, almost as if he was invisible.

Hearing these words, Pei Xuanjing nodded, “Well if that’s the case, then for now, we shouldn’t worry about them.”

He didn’t believe that Taoist Qingxu would truly decline completely. With such low-key movements, the latter must have his own plans and schemes. Better not to intertwine too closely to avoid arousing suspicion.

At Pei Xuanjing’s level, his every move is scrutinized by countless people and powers. If he showed too much concern for the True Martial Sect, it could draw unnecessary attention to the sect and trouble them.

Pang Hong suddenly thought of something and said, “Master, there is something rather strange that I feel like I should bring to your attention.”

“What is it?” Pei Xuanjing asked with a smile.

Pang Hong frowned slightly and said, “Several years ago, Elder Bai Xiaosheng suddenly found me. He wanted to entrust me with some people from his lineage. He wanted me to temporarily take control of his authority to monitor the martial world.”

Several years ago, Bai Xiaosheng suddenly sought out Pang Hong, saying he wanted to assign some people to him. Such people are part of Bai Xiaosheng’s network that investigates information about the martial world. It’s his real authority to monitor the world, the core essence which he suddenly handed over to Pang Hong. How could Pang Hong not feel astonished and puzzled?

“Oh?” Pei Xuanjing’s eyes flickered with a hint of surprise, “Did he give any reason?”

Pang Hong continued, “I also took the initiative to ask the elder, but Elder Bai Xiaosheng said he temporarily didn’t need these things. Also, he needed to enter seclusion for a while and was afraid that it might delay matters, so he temporarily entrusted the authority to me until he could take it back when he gets the chance.”

Listening to this, it seemed to Pang Hong as if Bai Xiaosheng was planning to hand over the resources he had. It greatly shocked him, but given the circumstances, he didn’t know who to turn to and didn’t dare to spread the news. Therefore, he could only keep it to himself until he could talk to his master.

Upon hearing this, Pei Xuanjing immediately understood Bai Xiaosheng’s intentions. He knew that Bai Xiaosheng was quite worried about the upcoming situation because everything that was happening had gone beyond his control.

After the arrival of Master Tianji in the future, Bai Xiaosheng wouldn’t necessarily be able to guarantee his safety, so he needed to make some preparations.

After understanding these matters, Pei Xuanjing nodded and said, “Alright, I understand his intentions. You go ahead and do as he asked.”

“Master?” Pang Hong wanted to ask hesitantly.

Pei Xuanjing waved his hand and said, “Knowing about this matter won’t be of any help to you. The most important thing for you now is to ensure that you handle the matters at hand well.”

“Yes, master.” Pang Hong nodded.

Since the master said so, Pang Hong naturally wouldn’t ask further.

No matter what happened to Bai Xiaosheng, since his master already knew about it, he’ll decide how to proceed. He only needed to do as his master instructed.

Pei Xuanjing then talked to Pang Hong about some matters concerning the development and handling of affairs within the Shenxiao Sect. After finding out that there were no major issues, Pei Xuanjing no longer interfered. He directly allowed Pang Hong to make decisions without having to consult him.

Then, after refining the jade talisman to facilitate his incarnation’s descent again, he let Pang Hong leave.

After waiting for Pang Hong to leave, Pei Xuanjing put away his Sanbao Jade Ruyi. His indifferent voice echoed, “You’ve been here for so long already, when exactly are you planning to reveal yourself?”

“Hahaha…” A hearty laugh sounded in Pei Xuanjing’s ear. The voice responded, “You are indeed the top of the martial world from the Ancestral Land. Today’s visit was really worth the trip.”
