Chapter 1741 -s 1686-1687: A True Immortal Battles in the Myriad Laws Realm_2
Even beyond that, these people becoming stronger not only brings no benefit to them, but due to their increased strength, they will develop greater demands for benefits. They will lead their own forces to expand, bringing more crisis and competition to the Shenxiao Lineage, harming the interests of the lineage.
If looked at superficially, this would seem to be a situation that is all harm and no benefit. However, Yu Zhenzi believes that their Taoist Monarch has never been one to act aimlessly without purpose.
It could be said that the Longevity Taoist Monarch indeed has no restraints in certain matters, appearing exceedingly liberal. But to some extent, the other party actually does make plans, allowing these people to achieve their own benefits while incidentally fulfilling their own objectives.
He wondered if the current situation was the same, with the Taoist Monarch’s actions seeming to cultivate competitors. But could it be that the other party had an even grander plan, waiting for these people to grow stronger before executing it, to seek even more benefits for themselves?
"They are still too weak, or rather, the number of strong individuals in the world today is too few. This is far from enough." Pei Xuanjing spoke indifferently, not denying Yu Zhenzi’s question.
He clearly understood all that he had done; even without any declaration from his side, many could see that he had other plans as well.
There’s no such thing as a free lunch; everything given has already been marked with its price.
Pei Xuanjing’s actions in massively fostering strong individuals over the years had long prompted thoughts in the hearts of many Taoist Monarchs who had been paying attention to him. Even if some Taoist Monarchs didn’t realize it at first, they certainly came to a realization later.
Although his own plans had not been openly disclosed, Pei Xuanjing believed that a portion of the Taoist Monarchs had guessed his intentions. Without any explicit negotiations, both sides had reached an unspoken agreement, pushing the plan forward invisibly.
"The strong in this world are ultimately too few, leaving me without motivation nor pressure, hence that even my cultivation has slowed down," Pei Xuanjing lamented softly as he watched the True Immortals continue to enter the Myriad Laws Realm.
