Tianfeng Daist strolled and arrived at his favorite Anhe Palace Lake Heart Island, but there was already soone sitting there.
"At this ti, you should be ditating and cultivating, preparing for everything..." Master Xiao teased with a relaxed deanor.
Tianfeng didn’t mind, "Aren’t you the sa? It’s not just preparing for the Upper Realm, you’re doing it too."
Master Xiao chuckled slyly, "I’m not aiming for the Upper Realm, just trying to survive a bit longer."
Tianfeng Daist casually found a place to sit down, and looked with interest at this native master of Jinxiu, who with his own power successfully maintained Anhe’s Daoist lineage amidst the continent’s turbulent changes, preserving Anhe Dao Country’s independence.
"Master, after all you’ve done for Anhe Dao Country, do you think it’s all aningful?"
Master Xiao understood his point, "Of course, it’s aningful. This is not about inheritance. Whether learned from the Three Pure Ones or other universal Daoist lineages, these things of Anhe Daoist are essentially a mixed bag, what’s worth insisting on?"
"But in my view, independence is more important than lineage! Lineage can make us stronger, but independence gives us the courage to survive; it’s a spirit, even if Anhe Daoist disappears in the future, this spirit will never vanish."
Tianfeng was reluctant to discuss these nebulous subjects. This old fellow has a knack for diverting people’s thoughts to align with his desires.
"Master, there’s no such thing as absolute independence in this world. Our so-called independence is within certain fraworks, supported by systems and structures. So do you think, after Heaven Creation, where will Anhe Daoist’s support be? The Daoist system or sowhere else?"
Master Xiao knew what he ant, "Many Daoist lineages on Jinxiu Continent are fundantally rooted in Daoist Sect. So emphasize lineage purity, but why not broaden our minds?"
Questioned for so long but got nothing, Tianfeng wasn’t disappointed. This was the survival logic of these old folks.
"People believe that us Upper Realm Nascent Souls, opening Jinxiu’s Heaven Creation is of utmost importance. But after Heaven Creation, Jinxiu’s safety responsibilities can only be undertaken by you seniors of the Upper Realm True Monarchs, at least for a period.
What I want to know is whether there’s any overall plan among Jinxiu’s Nascent Soul Masters, like an alliance for attack and defense."
These Upper Realm visitors have been on Jinxiu Continent for nearly sixty years, and in most Daoist lineages, they have essentially grasped sect authority. However, those native Nascent Soul Masters remain a hurdle they cannot surpass.
Without sufficient Realm, it’s impossible to suppress these ancient creatures, which is the real rule of the cultivation world, regardless of how superficially compliant these masters appear, they truly rule this cultivation world.
Understanding how these masters truly think is vital, but unfortunately, Upper Realm envoys never broke into this circle, only vaguely knowing they have such a loose association.
Master Xiao smiled, "What are you worried about? There’s no need! If I say these people actually have fears, would you believe it? Many think once Heaven Creation arrives, they’ll roam the universe, and quite a few share this thought."
Tianfeng raised his eyebrows in surprise, "I didn’t expect it to be like that..."
Master Xiao gave him a playful look, "When a blind man regains sight, the first thing he does is discard his cane, even though it helped him much; for us, Jinxiu Continent is our cane. What do you think we most wish to do?"
Tianfeng was a bit speechless, "I thought you would swear to protect Jinxiu."
Master Xiao grinned, "Isn’t that your responsibility? What did you think you ca here for, getting full support from a Daoist lineage with just words? Even if Jinxiu’s cultivation world is desolate, it wouldn’t be this cheap, right?"
Tianfeng sighed with a bitter smile, conceding defeat; the argunt wasn’t wrong, giving and receiving are intertwined, and it was the reason they ca here.
Master Xiao sighed, "What we truly worry about is being unable to escape!"
.........
The sa scenes are seen around Jinxiu Continent, even overseas and among the Demon Clan, all equally confused about the future.
Since Jinxiu began cultivation, there hasn’t been such a harmonious period, among various races, Daoist lineages, and countries, peacefully united like kin.
It’s like a family awaiting the passing of an elderly father, none wants to seem greedy and risk losing inheritance; though once the old thing passes, that’s another story.
Only one or two years remain, and two surprising events occurred.
One, no expected celestial signs appeared; for the past two millennia, signs always accompanied the ti window, never missed; it’s perplexing they’re absent at the final mont.
Heaven Creation a lie? Is Jinxiu’s cultivation world scaring itself? Or is it the Invisible Elephant, Subtle Sound, Untraceable Transformation?
Another is, recently many cultivators suddenly achieved Upper Realm Nascent Soul; so can’t hold back any longer.
A cultivator’s advancent should be natural and smooth, aligning with cultivation essence; forcing growth or restraining suppresses objective laws, offering no benefit.
No matter how perfect your cultivation technique is, when the ti cos, you must proceed, you must relieve yourself, can’t hold back...
Now many can’t contain themselves, like rushing to the restroom with urgency, apparently succeeding, only to soil themselves before relief due to ntal strain at the last mont, relaxing muscles amidst abundance.
Precisely controlling Upper Realm timing, it’s an almost impossible task in the cultivation world; either early or delayed, hitting exact timing hard as climbing to heaven.
Most cultivators choose to enter Upper Realm early, seeking insight there; rather than waiting for Heaven Creation’s approach, risking missing the opportunity.
Because of this thinking, over the recent years, many Golden Core Late Stage cultivators initiated Upper Realm procedures, finding the elusive chance of attainnt; realizing their timing has co, Heaven Creation distant, they can only advance, resisting suppression.
This serves as a touchstone; opening Upper Realm gates before Heaven Creation suggests one isn’t Heaven’s chosen.
