He also wanted to eat and drink as much as he wanted! So he absolutely couldn't die here!
Inside the hall, some of the continent's leaders and some high-ranking monks who attended the exchange meeting could not help but whisper to each other.
"Is this... are these Meteorite Monks telling the truth? Do they really just want to cooperate with us? Instead of..."
Not invading them?
"This...but the people above said that Monk Yunyan's entry into the world this time must have bad intentions..."
"The people above? Do you mean those in the middle and high-level continents?"
"yes."
"Fellow Daoist, I'm not saying anything, but I also thought so before that Monk Yunyan said so. But do you really believe everything those people said?"
"What's the meaning?"
"Don't you understand? Over the years, most of the people who have benefited are those above. Now that the Immortal Realm has suddenly allowed the Meteorite Flame cultivators to enter, won't the continents above be the ones that will have the greatest impact? But think about it, if the Meteorite Flame Realm really has the intention to invade, are we in the Pankong Realm really stupid? Are they stupid? The Pankong Realm is not the closest realm to the Meteorite Flame Realm, it just happens that our area is at the junction. How great is the danger they face in crossing the void to get here? How much will they have to pay? And even if they come, do they really think that our Pankong Realm is made of mud? If they dare to come, we dare to make them go without return! By then, who knows who will eat whom! Those people may just hate to see us..."
"Shh!"
The person not far away quickly made a gesture with his hand to keep quiet.
"You don't want to live anymore!?"
The big man stiffened for a moment, then straightened his back.
"What are you afraid of? Those people from the high-level continents aren't in this little hall of ours! The soundproofing here is excellent! Besides, even if they hear us, what's the big deal? I'm just telling the truth! We've been controlled by those high-level and mid-level continents for so many years. We've been oppressed everywhere because we lack cultivators who dare to expose their lies and stand out! But brothers, do you want to continue like this?! Keep looking down on others, keep servile and subservient to them?! Risk your life for a few unwanted cultivation resources?!"
Who wants to be inferior to others? Who wants to work hard but only get one thousandth of what others get?
"And that Shen Qingyi, don't you think she has problems?"
"Think about it, why does she, a Taoist monk, have so many things? She has good combat power, and is excellent in alchemy, talismans, and formations. Maybe she can also refine weapons?!"
"What if...what if it's just that he has a good talent!"
"Oh! Don't think about things! How can there be so many geniuses in this world?! If that were true, how could a genius be called a genius?! And judging by her performance, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call her a 'child of heaven', right?! But why don't you think about it..."
The man lowered his voice a little, and the other monks in the hall couldn't help but prick up their ears.
"Why are there more geniuses in high-level continents than in other places? I've heard that in ancient times, the art of stealing dragons and replacing phoenixes, a kind of evil magic, was popular. Although its methods were extremely vicious and ruthless, they were later destroyed by the Immortal Cultivation Alliance. But... hehe... every once in a while, there are always a few geniuses in the world of immortal cultivation, and then some people disappear, or even more people... Tell me... why do so many geniuses and cultivators from low-level continents like us disappear?"
Some monks around couldn't help but gasp.
"Fellow Daoist, think about it. Those in high positions who want to rule over those below them, how can they do so without some means? They can publicly project a righteous image towards us, but who knows what they are doing behind the scenes?"
"This... in this case... then Shen Qingyi... then Shen Qingyi is also very likely..."
"Fellow Daoist, what you said makes perfect sense! I was wondering, how could such a genius exist in this world! She's so outstanding in everything! She doesn't even have to work hard, and yet she has countless resources at her disposal! Now it seems like there might be something shady going on here!"
"Right, right, right! Those big sects, those old monsters, have so many tricks up their sleeves! It's easy for them to blind us to it! But they treat us like fools, like leeks to be plundered! Isn't that too much!"
"That's right! Now that they think about it, the Meteorite Realm's intention in coming to our Pankong Realm might not be this!"
"And Shen Qing is full of suspicious points! We've never heard of such a genius before! Now that he's suddenly appeared, there might be some disgusting deal going on!"
"If you look closely at Shen Qingyi, her actions are simply... simply no different from those of a demonic sect! She's unworthy of being a Taoist genius! In that vast formation, there were mountains of corpses and seas of blood, bones spread across a thousand miles, and shrill cries shook the sky! Yet she showed no mercy, no hesitation! If someone like her were allowed to grow up, what would happen?! In the future of Taoism, in the future world of immortal cultivation, if anyone disobeyed her wishes, wouldn't she be utterly annihilated, just like today! Such an evil demon, such a cold-blooded person! She's unworthy of being a Taoist, unworthy of being a human being!"
"That's right! With such a vicious heart, what's wrong with her stealing and replacing the original? To her, there's no distinction between good and evil! How could she feel guilty about taking away someone else's qualifications? How could she harbor inner demons? She's simply selfish and vicious!"
"How could she be so reckless and not have anyone to support her? Think about how a cultivator who is only at the Golden Core stage could have gotten to this point? It would definitely not be possible without someone more powerful behind the scenes giving her advice!"
"They're taking us for fools!"
The discussion in the hall became more and more heated, of course there were monks who did not think so.
"Think about the ancient wars. Which of those invaders came with good intentions? Is this what true cooperation looks like? Furthermore, the Meteorite Realm is notorious. Would they really just want to attend the exchange meeting, take a look, and then leave?"
"Yes! Every invasion has resulted in rivers of blood. If we don't take precautions against invaders and nip them in the bud, when they are truly ready and launch a war, won't rivers of blood flow? Wouldn't our Pankong Realm be devastated?"
"If the Meteorite Realm truly only wanted to communicate, why would they have come so aggressively, and why would they have committed the burning, killing, and looting previously?! Fellow Daoists, please review the history of the Immortal Cultivation Realm! Never forget history!"
"What do you mean? Didn't our cultivators kill any of their people? Casualties during a competition, isn't that normal? And if those people hadn't described the Meteorite Flame Realm like that beforehand, how could we have such a preconceived notion?!"
"That's right! You've been brainwashed by those high-level continents! Tell me, how much benefit did those exploiters give you? They made you forget the humiliation you suffered all these years!"
There are more and more small temples like this one.
What Gro said was not entirely wrong. When there are benefits, there will always be some people who stand out.
There will always be more people who listen to the wind as wind, listen to the rain as rain, and go with the flow...
