Chapter 276: Qianmo’s Three Wishes
Zhang Qianmo let out a light, dismissive laugh. "It’s just a nightmare, Junior Brother. There’s no need to take it seriously."
Yet, seeing the intensity in Li Fan's gaze, Zhang Qianmo fell silent for a moment before speaking. "My life's wish, you ask..."
"To be honest with you, Junior Brother, ever since I entered the Purple Firmament Sect and embarked on the path of cultivation, I’ve always had three goals.
"I've simply kept them buried deep in my heart and never spoken of them to anyone.
"Since you insist on asking, I suppose I can share them with you. But consider this idle talk; don't take it seriously!"
Zhang Qianmo's expression turned solemn as he spoke slowly and deliberately. "I have three wishes.
"First: Heretics run rampant, and the common people suffer. I wish to eradicate every last demon from this world, to restore a realm of clear skies and bright days.
"Second: The Ten Great Immortal Sects have become decrepit. They possess power but lack virtue, and can no longer command true respect. I wish for the Purple Firmament Sect to rise and take their place.
"Third: The sects and factions of this world are miserly, hoarding their secrets. Countless cultivation techniques exist, yet each is jealously guarded. An ordinary cultivator, even within a single sect, could spend a lifetime and still not learn all its treasured techniques. How could they hope to learn the myriad other techniques under heaven?
"Life has its limits, but techniques are boundless. What a great pity this is! Techniques could be practiced by all, yet not a single sect is willing to share its knowledge with the world.
"Petty! Shallow! If I ever held sway over this world, I would gather every last technique and make them all public.
"Then everyone could choose the technique most suited to them. Within a few short years, we would surely see a resurgence of the glorious golden cultivation age of old.”
