Chapter 111: I Give You One Day, Think About It Carefully (2/2)

While they spoke, walking on the village road, a villager was pa.s.sing through their side hurriedly. w.a.n.g Lu pulled him aside and asked straight to the point, “What are you cultivating for?”

Because w.a.n.g Lu didn’t show his Sect Leader appearance this time, the villager didn’t recognize him. Being suddenly pulled aside, he was surprised, but when he saw the one behind w.a.n.g Lu was Wen Bao, he immediately guessed that w.a.n.g Lu was one of the higher ups of the Wisdom Sect. After respectfully saluting him, that villager seriously replied, “For the world’s ascension!”

His powerful and resonating words were jaw dropping.

w.a.n.g Lu smiled and patted his shoulder. “A promising child.” He then let him go.

Turning his head, although the Seven Stars Sect’s Sect Leader was amazed on the amount of conviction in that villager’s answer, he was still confused about one thing. “What’s the world’s ascension?”

Therefore, w.a.n.g Lu simply explained his million forerunners theory. Upon hearing this explanation, The Seven Stars Sect’s Leader was stunned. “You, you can even come up with this bullsh*t theory?” Then he sneered. “So, after all is said and done, the so-called ideal is just an artificially instilled scam.”

w.a.n.g Lu smiled and then asked, “It is indeed just a scam, but what’s wrong with it? If the Nine Regions could really have a million ascenders, it will not be a bad thing. To let this group of muddle-headed fools have a reliable ideal that they can pa.s.sionately struggle for, this is simply the best.”

“What a graceful words, flowery speech! You arouse the zeal of illiterates with lies, and then use the Heaven Burning Blood Technique to burn this pa.s.sion, and then…”

Speaking to this, the Seven Stars Sect’s Sect Leader suddenly froze.

w.a.n.g Lu coldly continued the Sect Leader’s words, “And then I invested all I have in this group of illiterates, only then in three months the w.a.n.g Family Village can have this improvement. While we’re at it, my initial investment is not small. Until now, there are still some spirit stones that I haven’t received back… So, what are you accusing me of? Too selfless?”

The Seven Stars Sect’s Sect Leader was silent for a long time before he asked, “Why?”

w.a.n.g Lu asked back, “What do you think?”

“... These villagers will hate you if they find out the truth.”

w.a.n.g Lu burst out laughing. “What a joke, you yourself is a Xudan Stage cultivator, so you shouldn’t be so ignorant about cultivation, no? This Heaven Burning Blood Technique thing burn the natural lifespan, how could people who cultivate not able to perceive it? If you want, you can ask these villagers now to see if they know the truth!”

“For the sake of an illusory ideal, they don’t even want their life?”

“Hahaha, although the ideal can’t be realized, the change in the w.a.n.g Family Village is real, and their cultivation achievement is not false. Of course, it’s just a small step in the Immortal Path. However, the fact that they’re already set foot in the Immortal Path is enough to excite this group of ignorant people.”

Speaking to this, w.a.n.g Lu laughed again. “Speaking of which, I want to tell you something interesting. A couple of days ago, a gang of mountain thieves appeared near the w.a.n.g Family Village, wanting to steal some things. As a result, three Qi Cultivating Stage villagers, holding sickle and wooden sticks, strike down more than ten people; their sorry figures can only flee with tails tucked between their legs… It’s a very good uplifting scene.”

With that, w.a.n.g Lu turned around. “By now, you should’ve roughly understood the situation in the Wisdom Sect. Do you have a little change of mind?”

The Seven Stars Sect’s Sect Leader bitterly said, “You… want me to join Wisdom Sect?”

w.a.n.g Lu said, “That’s right, this time, it’s still a formal invitation. Despite the fact that this sect was established not too long ago, but as long one have eyes, one would be able to see the prospect for development of this Wisdom Sect.”

The Seven Stars Sect’s Sect Leader asked, “Why me? With your background, you can find a large number of excellent followers, even from the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals…”

w.a.n.g Lu interrupted him, “I have no interest in cultivators from the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals. The current Wisdom Sect doesn’t need those pampered, eyes looking up, high-rank talents, but rather those whose eyes on the ground and feet rooted to the floor and come from the gra.s.sroots like your Seven Stars Sect. And among the gra.s.s root elites, you are rare; although your apt.i.tude and perception are mediocre, to be able to reach the Xudan Stage and establish the Seven Stars Sect… you’re quite a character.”

Being commented by a Qi Cultivating Stage young cultivator as if he was the one with more experience, the Seven Stars Sect’s Sect Leader didn’t know whether to laugh or cry.

“It’s not feasible to develop a sect by blindly relying on external force. Using tens of thousand, nay, hundreds of thousands of spirit stones to employ a group of arrogant cultivators and turn them into deference may seem infinitely beautiful, but when the sect practically exhaust nearly all of its spirit stones, then this sect would vanish like smoke in thin air. In contrast, your Seven Stars Sect, this group of sly old foxes who are experts in swimming through the mud in the Immortal Cultivation World, is more suitable for the early stage of the Wisdom Sect. As for your sect’s point of view, when all is said and done, whether you want to continue to be trapped in that barren hill that you call headquarters, or you want to start cultivating here, I believe it’s not a difficult choice.”

Speaking to this, w.a.n.g Lu’s voice turned cold. “Perhaps as the sect leader, you have the dilemma of choosing chicken head or phoenix tail, but it’s not going to be a problem for the other Seven Stars Sect’s people. Moreover, you have been a sect leader for long enough, so ask yourself, does your dream of the so-called freedom already in your grasp?”

The Seven Stars Sect’s Sect Leader was silent for a long time.

“Give me one day.”

“Okay, I gave you yesterday, now you can give me your answer.”

“…”
