Chapter 1567 -s 1504-1515 True Monarch Qingyang Does His Best_2
Every cultivator, regardless of their origins, must develop their own independent thinking skills when their cultivation reaches a certain level; otherwise, they are utterly unqualified to ascend to the status of a True Immortal.
What is a True Immortal, after all? A True Immortal transcends the ordinary and transforms life itself. If a being lacks the ability to think independently, to make decisions, how can they ascend to True Immortality, and how can they possibly transform? Even if they possessed the power of a True Immortal, they would not tread far on the path of the True Immortals, and might not even deserve the title.
Therefore, for Zhao Baiyang at this moment, he would not interfere with these people’s trials. They needed to weigh their options on their own, to act according to their character, capabilities, and desires.
Becoming a True Immortal is a personal endeavor; no one can help them. They have to decide everything for themselves and bear the consequences of success or failure.
"Disciples, obey orders!" Yu Yiyao and others nodded in agreement.
"You all want to make your own choices, don’t you? Don’t think that just because you are disciples of the Taoist Academy, the Taoist Monarch will favor you. In this trial, status is irrelevant; everyone relies on their own strength and luck. If you are outperformed, you cannot blame others," True Monarch Qingyang cautioned the many supremely strong of the Taoist Academy.
True Monarch Qingyang, was none other than the former Vice President of the Great Ming Empire’s Martial Academy, the junior brother of Taoist Monarch Qingxu of the True Martial Sect, Qingyang Zi.
If it is said that many people in this world progress in their cultivation because of luck, encountering benefactors that lift them to the skies, then certainly, besides Yu Zhenzi, True Monarch Qingyang is such an individual without a doubt.
Even among those who knew of his rise, the envy and jealousy toward him were stronger than that for Yu Zhenzi.
Yu Zhenzi, after all, belongs to the Shenxiao Lineage and was one of the first subordinates of the Longevity Taoist Monarch, having deep gratitude for his tutelage from Pang Hong and making remarkable contributions to the rise of the Shenxiao Sect, achieved through countless life-and-death experiences.
