Chapter 227 Disorder
Chapter 227 Disorder
Master Hongjue was extremely excited, marveling at it and finding it delightful.
But soon, he frowned slightly: "But... there is no essential difference compared to now."
The "Prosperous Strategies" can increase the national strength of the Great Qian Dynasty by a thousandfold or even ten thousandfold.
Neighboring countries, super sects, ancient holy lands, and even alien races from beyond the realm will pose no threat.
Under such a flawless system that embodies the principles of nature, people's lives are improved a thousandfold.
After his initial surprise, Master Hongjue quickly noticed the flaws: "The overall national strength has improved, but the problems we face now are destined to persist in the future."
The "Prosperous Country Strategy" aims to improve the overall development of a nation.
Nowadays, out of ten thousand mortals, only one becomes a cultivator.
For every ten thousand cultivators, there might be one second-rate expert.
Ten thousand second-rate masters...
Once the "Prosperous Country Policy" is implemented, ordinary people will be able to live and work in peace and contentment, and their numbers will increase ten thousandfold.
That would result in 100 million mortals and 10,000 cultivators.
Even if the ratio is increased, producing 20,000 or 30,000 cultivators.
The distinction between immortals and mortals remains. In the eyes of high-level experts, mortals are no different from straw dogs.
A single evil cultivator can slaughter a small city of one million people to refine a soul banner.
The righteous path's extermination of evil cultivators is not out of kindness, but simply because they cannot bear to see their own people sacrificed and devoured by wolves.
Mortals can cultivate spiritual herbs, raise spiritual beasts, mine spiritual minerals, and serve the immortals.
But just like the plague in Cheng'an County, its powerful vitality can cause ordinary people to mutate and become monsters.
Spending a long time with spirits without learning the corresponding methods can lead to uneven distribution of spiritual energy in the body's organs, thus shortening lifespan.
Therefore, regardless of whether it is good or evil, they are just different ways of getting along, but their essence is the same.
Master Hongjue sighed, “Indeed, my idea was too far-fetched and utterly ridiculous.”
His idea was simple: for people to live in harmony and respect each other regardless of their status.
Only in that way can one save all people and attain the supreme Dao.
Master Hongjue may have had lofty ideals, but he was not stupid.
He knew his goal was difficult to achieve, and he didn't obsessively demand things of others.
After failing to find a solution, he hid in Yifang Garden and used the "Questioning the Heart" method to screen the emperor, thus contributing to the effort to some extent.
However, after seeing the "Prosperous Strategies of the State", Master Hongjue's brief joy turned into disappointment.
Even such a remarkable article could only enhance national strength, but it could not support his lofty ideals.
In an instant, Master Hongjue's face flushed with a sickly redness, and he staggered back two steps.
Swish swish!
The surrounding powerful figures all changed their expressions.
boom!
The pure white sword energy suddenly went out of control, cleaving the sky in two.
Beyond the colorful fragments of space, several strangely shaped creatures squeaked in fright.
hiss!
On the other side, a breathtakingly emerald-green water sphere crashed into the vast ocean, sending up a cloud of white smoke.
That was a marine phenomenon displayed by a powerful water-elemental expert, which was then invaded by the phenomenon of another poison master, causing an uproar.
Goo!
Countless spirits, strange beasts, and tree sprites around them trembled and collapsed to the ground.
Whether living or dead, they instantly went limp, losing all vitality.
That's a master of mental manipulation; it's just that their mental energy is disordered, so they project their true nature onto reality.
When the subjective mind collapses, the objective mind collapses along with it!
In just a moment, all the powerful individuals changed.
Just moments ago, these were incredibly powerful individuals, capable of moving mountains and filling seas, and turning the world upside down.
Their faces turned pale and ashen; they were doing their utmost to calm themselves and quell the chaos.
Whoosh!
Fairy Chenyu appeared beside Su Yun in a flash.
She gritted her teeth, endured the pain, and waved her sleeves.
A soft light instantly enveloped it, blocking out all the uncontrollable anomalies.
boom!
King Taibai landed as well, his voice hoarse: "Hongjue, concentrate!"
With a flick of his whisk, the old ancestor Cangmu unleashed a green light that struck Master Hongjue's chest.
He said sternly, "Hongjue, calm yourself down!"
call!
Master Hongjue suddenly looked up and discovered the chaotic scene.
“I…” He smiled wryly, trying to focus.
But his expression immediately changed: "My Dao Heart has been damaged."
hiss!
The smiles on the faces of the powerful figures vanished instantly, replaced by solemnity.
Master Hongjue is the key figure here; if he is harmed, everyone will be affected.
Ancestor Cangmu asked, "Is it serious?"
Master Hongjue waved his hand: "It's alright. My Dao heart has been damaged, but it's not enough to cause my immediate death and dissipation."
"We can hold on for a while longer."
King Thai Bai also looked solemn, but after a while, he smiled and said, "That's enough."
"To be able to glimpse the Emperor's Realm, to hear the Dao in the morning, one can die content in the evening."
The other powerful figures, who were initially saddened, felt relieved upon hearing this: "Yes, that's enough."
"Even if I stay here and bother Hongjue, I will never achieve anything. To be able to see an Emperor, even if he is only a Quasi-Emperor, is enough for this lifetime."
“Hongjue, if you can’t hold on, then let go.”
King Mo Xing sighed, "Tai Bai, I have no grievance that you destroyed my kingdom."
"I can never learn this domineering and magnanimous attitude."
King Taibai chuckled.
The powerful figures also regained their senses and put the chaotic spells and strange phenomena back under control.
Their faces showed more relief than anything else. The Emperor Realm was incredibly difficult to attain, and there was only one Emperor Realm in an entire era.
Now, many powerful individuals have reached the Quasi-Emperor level, and others have also glimpsed the threshold and entry requirements.
Whether it succeeds or not, we will always be on the path to the end.
This life has been worthwhile!
Fairy Chenyu's complexion improved somewhat before she asked, "Hongjue, how did you hurt your Dao Heart?"
Master Hongjue smiled wryly: "Isn't it still the same old story?"
Fairy Chenyu immediately shook her head: "You are so naive and innocent. There is no such thing as fairness in the world."
"You want everyone to be equal, but can you really be equal to the little forest spirits and demons right here?"
"That's absolutely out of the ordinary!"
Master Hongjue sighed: "Ordinary people don't think about it, Daoists don't think about it, the Supreme Ones don't think about it, even sages and great emperors don't think about it."
"If I don't want to, who else in the world would be the fool?"
The powerful figures remained silent, their words filled with disdain, yet their hearts held deep admiration.
They all knew that this holy monk was simply too kind-hearted, which was why he had such an unusual ideal.
Being generous with other people's money is considered hypocritical and self-righteous, but a fool like Hongjue who practices this throughout his life is a true saint.
Although people did not agree with his ideal of treating cultivators and mortals as equals, they still admired his belief.
Without this belief, they wouldn't be here today.
Master Hongjue smiled wryly: "Thank you all for your understanding. This old monk only has a few hobbies."
"If we fail to achieve our goal, we can't blame anyone else."
"Indeed, how much fairness is there in all things in this world?"
Swish!
As Su Yun carved the last character, the "Prosperous Strategies" immediately emitted a dazzling light.
He turned his head: "Well, this article alone is indeed not enough."
Master Hongjue nodded: "Yes... what are you doing?"
Su Yun walked to another stone: "So we need to add another one."
He began carving "The Immortal Record of the Dragon's Nest".
