Chapter 1370 -s 1318-1319: Govern by Doing Nothing That Goes Against Nature, Arrival of the Mighty
Everyone has their own choices, and they have their own understandings, especially the strong practitioners who have walked the path of cultivation to this day. They are very clear about their own paths and do not need others to point the way for them.
For a practitioner as strong as Pei Xuanjing, if he does not involve himself in those interest disputes, then those strong practitioners will remember his kindness. Conversely, if he blindly participates in them, no matter how much kindness he has shown, it will eventually be exhausted and turn into enmity.
Instead, Pei Xuanjing’s laissez-faire approach somewhat embodies the philosophy of governing by doing nothing. Coincidentally, under this strategy, Pei Xuanjing’s reputation has surged.
Just like after these Star Lords arrived in this world, as long as they cooperated with Pei Xuanjing to successfully execute the plan, Pei Xuanjing did not hinder their actions to seek their own benefits with the convenience provided; he tacitly allowed them to act.
When Fire Virtue Star Lord proposed to Pei Xuanjing the idea of attempting to consolidate the Authority of Slaughter, Pei Xuanjing did not organize opposition but rather chose to agree to the other party’s request.
In fact, even if it were other Star Lords who proposed the idea, Pei Xuanjing would not have any objection, because he does not want to get involved in these disputes over interests, nor is he willing to obstruct others from legitimately seeking their own benefits.
"Moreover, striving for the Authority of Slaughter is just your pretext, right? For you, although the Authority of Slaughter is indeed strong, compared to the Fire Path Authority, which suits you best, the Authority of Slaughter is nothing," said Pei Xuanjing with a smile, shaking his head slightly.
Sometimes, for cultivators, it’s not that the more powerful something is, the better it is; rather, what suits them best is truly best.
Take the Yin-Yang Laws, Space Laws, Time Laws, Laws of Destiny, for example. Each one of these authorities of laws is incredibly strong, at the very pinnacle of laws.
But not all strong practitioners will blindly pursue such laws. Even True Immortals haven’t done so.
