Master Pang’s words brought a mont of silence in the grand hall of Heavenly Palace Island.
Lady Xuanhua seed to reminisce about what she had seen in the grand hall of Tongming Mountain that day, and she slowly nodded, sighing softly, "For those accustod to the Jiushan Realm, indeed, it would be hard to adapt to the Supre Dao."
This was not rely praising the Jiushan Realm.
In truth, the current style of the Jiushan Realm was gradually diverging from the traditional Xuanwei Sect, and whether the Supre Dao, as an established sect, was good or not was secondary, but the habits must be quite different.
The mundane world of the Jiushan Realm was now steadily getting on the right track.
In terms of food, Master Qian’s achievents were coming one after another, and the diet of the Jiushan disciples was increasingly enriched.
In terms of spiritual materials, the research on the "Golden Core Project" had already alleviated the urgent need.
In terms of talent reserves, over the past few years, many children from mundane backgrounds had beco versed in literature and learned arithtic.
One could say that the foundation for the great developnt of the Jiushan Realm had been gradually solidified, yet changes in the outside world kept coming one after another.
Close threats ca from the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor, and in the distance lay troubles like the Leiyin Temple.
Such survival pressure was what led Zheng Fa to consider a second path besides independent developnt.
What he didn’t expect was that having the idea of independent developnt was quite normal for him — after all, from the beginning, he wasn’t very adapted to the style of the Xuanwei Immortal Sect, and was out of place with the original Jiushan Sect.
But Master Pang and Lady Xuanhua, who had lived in the Xuanwei Realm for so many years, should have had no discomfort, yet now they also vaguely had the intention of not wanting to rely on the Supre Dao.
You have to understand, this was the Xuanwei Five Sects, the sect of the highest status in the minds of Xuanwei cultivators!
He raised his eyes and looked at the others.
Zhang, Elder Yuan, Master Pang, and Junior Master Huang, along with Lady Xuanhua, all looked at him. They exchanged glances and actually started smiling at one another.
Zhang’s eyes glead with excitent:
"It seems we’re on the sa page?"
Junior Master Huang nodded, her face also spreading with a smile. She was usually expressionless, but at this mont, her smile was quite attractive.
Master Pang suddenly spat and said, "When we left the Hundred Immortals Alliance back then, I thought to myself, never to endure those indignities again!"
"If we went to the Supre Dao, how could we have the carefree days we have now?"
After a round of discussion, in the end, everyone leaned towards not relying on the Supre Dao.
Seeing Zheng Fa remaining silent, they did not continue the conversation but only left Zhang with Zheng Fa, one after another leaving the grand hall.
Watching this group of people’s backs, Zheng Fa sighed after a long while: "Master and uncle, they... have seen through ."
As for Master Pang and the others’ choice, how much of it was truly because they didn’t want to rely on the Supre Dao, and how much was because they could see through Zheng Fa’s truest thoughts, Zheng Fa was clearer in his heart.
He sought out these people to discuss, honestly wanting to hear so dissenting opinions.
The result was that these people were more staunch than one could have imagined!
Zhang first nodded, then slowly said, "So we are not suited to rely on the Supre Dao."
"Hmm?"
Zheng Fa turned his head to look at Zhang, and listened as she said, "Junior Brother, you are inherently sincere, in other words, not very cunning."
Zheng Fa really did feel this.
"The masters and elders could often see through your thoughts..." Zhang paused and then said, "This is not a bad thing, although the world thinks that a deeply unpredictable Sect Leader is formidable, your clarity and honesty have governed the Jiushan Realm well."
"Their words are also a testant to your abilities."
Looking at Zheng Fa, Zhang seed a bit proud, and she continued, "But your temperant only suits an environnt in the Jiushan Realm where you can control the situation, or a sect with a very friendly atmosphere."
"The Supre Dao, it might be such a sect..."
"But more likely, it is not."
Zheng Fa blinked; what Zhang pointed out was truly insightful — whether a person’s character is advantageous or disadvantageous is often closely related to the environnt; kindness is foolish on the battlefield, loyalty is... well, an interest in a little book.
With such a disposition, honestly, to play intrigues, power sches, and layouts, whether willing or not, he might really get played to death.
Seeing his expression change, Zhang continued:
"Junior Brother, what you are good at is using facts to move people’s hearts, leveraging collective wisdom to solve problems, and slowly growing a sect."
"Joining an old-fashioned Xuanwei Sect doesn’t suit you, doesn’t suit , and doesn’t fit with the current Jiushan Realm."
"Moreover, who says the Supre Dao doesn’t covet Quiet Bamboo, doesn’t covet Fusang Wood... doesn’t covet the ’Jiushan Golden Core thod’?"
Zheng Fa fell into silence as what Zhang said was not profound, yet it touched upon the most crucial point — in the environnt of a traditional Xuanwei Immortal Sect, whether Zheng Fa or the Jiushan Realm could grow as per Zheng Fa’s desires was a luxury.
Turning to the Supre Dao might not resolve the imdiate troubles — at least with the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor, they were already at the point of no return.
But there would certainly be new troubles.
"Senior Sister, are you saying...?"
"Fight first and talk later!" Zhang’s face showed determination, "We’ve seen the Great Freedom Demon Ancestor last ti, haven’t we?"
"With Quiet Bamboo, with Fusang Wood already fully grown, and now with the help of the Qingping Sword..."
"Are we weaker than last ti?"
Zheng Fa slowly nodded; he and Zhang were different in character. He was relatively conservative, often gauging enemies generously.
But Zhang... was a traditional Xuanwei genius, with her crossing realms to battle was commonplace, with traceable achievents!
When in doubt, fight first and see, was also Zhang’s style.
