Chapter 1179 - 1128-1129 - If by then, you should leave
"Whether you soar upon the winds or falter remains to be seen by your own merit," Pei Xuanjing thought as his gaze pierced the distant Demon Domain.
It wasn’t that Pei Xuanjing was heartless, nor was he powerless to save his disciple. In fact, Pei Xuanjing had enough strength to bring him back.
However, Pei Xuanjing chose not to do so. Regardless of whether Pang Hong would participate in the Enthroning Gods in the future, battling through such slaughter was essential should he wish to ascend to the summit.
Pei Xuanjing had observed Pang Hong’s modesty and his strategy to bide his time, understanding his desire to consolidate.
But in Pei Xuanjing’s view, it was fine to bide one’s time for a moment, but not forever.
One who secludes themselves shall never be qualified to reach the pinnacle, no matter how extraordinary their talent or resources are.
Lying low and blending with the mundane could seem like a form of tempering, but as time drags on, it could also dull one’s edge and fighting spirit, gradually changing a person without them realizing it. When the day comes to truly shine, they might discover that they have lost the heart of a formidable being, the spirit to advance.
The Extreme Path Cultivation is indeed radical, yet it is also the best path for a strong being to reach their peak.
If Pei Xuanjing were to intervene and bring Pang Hong back this time, he would have avoided danger but also would have lost the opportunity to be tempered, which is detrimental to his cultivation.
Given the resources and accumulation Pang Hong had acquired, he could have attempted to break through to the Supreme Strong Realm long ago. In fact, his current accumulation isn’t just a bit more than what Pei Xuanjing had at this realm.
