Chapter 287 Chapter 284 Hope for Instruction

Hong Chen’s words were very pessimistic, exuding an aura of death as if he had endured countless hardships and held no hope for anything.

Fang Wang was not angry, he stared at Hong Chen and said, “If Senior truly thought so, you probably wouldn’t have come to find me.”

Hong Chen looked steadily at Fang Wang, seemingly lost in thought.

Hongxuan Emperor did not interject again; he quietly awaited Hong Chen’s decision.

His expression was full of meaningful subtlety, with a reminisce flashing in his eyes.

Hong Chen spoke, “I can help you establish the sect, but I shall not partake in fate, hold any power, nor resolve any conflicts for you. If, after five hundred years, your sect still exists, then I shall enter the fray and help you build the foremost sect in the world.”

Hearing such boldness from the other party, a new idea suddenly occurred to Fang Wang, he couldn’t help but ask, “Do you know of Jin Xiao Sect?”

Hong Chen replied calmly, “I’m not obliged to assist anyone, going through birth, old age, sickness, and death, passing on, living a plain life is also fine.”

Hongxuan Emperor hastily said, “Kid, stop thinking about that woman. This one is a Heaven Emperor, it’s always been him picking people. His choice of you means you are already the most outstanding person of this era. Jin Xiao Sect doesn’t have this fortune, and Zhou Xue aimed for ascension, which contradicts the philosophy of Heaven Emperor.”

Upon listening, Fang Wang felt it made sense.

He then asked, “May I ask Senior, what should my sect be called? What do I need to prepare?”

Hong Chen didn’t respond; instead, he raised his right hand, stretched out two fingers, dipped them briefly into the alcohol, and then flicked them across the tabletop.

“Look at it,” Hong Chen said quietly.

Fang Wang involuntarily turned his gaze to the tabletop where the alcohol began to flow and actually gathered into three characters.

Greed!

Heaven!

Dao!

Fang Wang frowned.

Hong Chen said, “Choose one of these three characters as the name of your sect. These are three characters tied to your destiny. Choose wisely, for the name will set the fate of your sect.”

Hongxuan Emperor remarked with amazement, “Greed is indeed fitting; you’re always thinking of protecting everyone around you and absurdly aiming to master all the ultimate teachings. As for Heaven and Dao, even more so, proclaiming the Heavenly Dao, undertaking the deeds of Heavenly Dao, truly audacious.”

Suddenly, Fang Wang reached out, swiping his hand across the table, yet the characters on the tabletop didn’t change.

Hong Chen said, “This is a kind of destiny art that reveals the Dao you pursue in your life. These Daos are not imposed by me, they are your own. Unless you can convince yourself right now that you have an entirely new Dao, they won’t change, won’t increase, and surely won’t decrease.”

Fang Wang’s eyes shifted, he activated his Tianling Body, and swiped again.

Almost instantaneously, Hong Chen’s pupils contracted sharply.

As Fang Wang waved his hand, the three characters on the table merged into one.

Hope!

The Hongxuan Emperor’s eyes went wide, his expression one of utter disbelief.

Fang Wang spoke up, “Let’s call it the Hope Sect. It will aim for what people aspire to in life, for the other shore of cultivation. All beings have their hopes, and this sect will be where followers cultivate to realize their own hopes while shouldering the hopes of all beings.”

Hong Chen appeared somewhat lost in thought, gazing at the character on the table, muttering, “Hoping for what people aspire to in life, for the other shore of cultivation…”

“How… How did you do it?” Hongxuan Emperor asked with wide eyes, his voice trembling.

Fang Wang reverted to his Heavenly Gang Supreme Yang Tyrant Body, silently watching Hong Chen.

Hong Chen looked up at Fang Wang, his eyes ablaze, “There’s no need to wait five hundred years; I’ll support you with all my strength.”

At those words, Hongxuan Emperor looked incredulously towards Hong Chen, exclaiming, “Old man! You inspected me for a thousand years, and even when I became an emperor, you were still not satisfied, you never spoke of fully supporting me!”

“You’re different from him; you’re too ordinary.”
